Barring injury he's going to be top 5 in alltime rushing yards. He's already top 5 in alltime rushing TDs.
Combined with still holding the high school record, SEC single season rushing and rushing TD record, and the Heisman Trophy...he'll be the alltime GOAT in my book. Only Barry Sanders is comparable if you look at the cumulative careers.
Emmitt played forever in the nfl...not sure if Henry has another 5 years to threaten the alltime nfl rushing record...but if anyone can these days it's him. Frank Gore is an anomaly on the alltime list. Never was he considered elite or the best RB...he just played forever. The Michigan football of NFL RBs lol.

His individual season as the starting tailback is ranked up there
It is.
However, we were told by many rival fans in the moment that he was a flash in the pan, that anyone running behind that 2015 offensive line could have put up those numbers. And for the first two or three seasons of his stint with the Titans this remained the near-constant refrain on this site. What a bunch of trolls you all were.
Now he's assured a place in Canton and will probably finish his career in the Top 5-10 in both rushing yardage and rushing touchdowns.

Well, he's a much better NFL player than either of them. I'll give you injuries on Bo, but Herschel lacked lateral mobility and got by as a strictly north and south runner that bowled over smaller opponents in college. He also played in a much less competitive era for the SEC.Will be an unpopular opinion on this board and I obviously can't denigrate his college career as he is an all-time great at that level, but Herschel doesn't crack my top 100 running back list all-time and even if looking at power backs, he pales in comparison to Derrick, Earl, Marshawn, Eddie George and many others who were far more versatile and athletic.

Not going to fact check, but I'd bet he'd still have positive just poking fun of the levelresults given what he has done in college and the NFL
There’s no need too. I already said he’s a top 3 back ever but n the SEC. I was just poking fun of the level of competition he faced in high school
