I watched him run for almost 3 hundred in tiger stadium

What is it with LSU fans basing entire careers off of one game. Shaun Alexander is the best ever Bama running back because he killed LSU. Trevor Lawrence is overrated because he was beaten by LSU. Dan Mullen is the greatest coach in the league because he beat LSU that one time.

Henry is the SEC's single season rushing record holder, and you don't even include him in the top 10.
And you called him a system runningback and he holds records on every level and every team he has played on.

Campbell is in the Jackson/Walker tier. Peterson is in the next tier IMO with Henry/McFadden.

LF7 ran behind 2 NFL guys (Will Clapp, Ethan Pocic) just like Henry did (Cam Robinson, Ryan Kelly).



You’re forgetting LF7 was in a system that didn’t incorporate the forward pass!!! Something Henry greatly benefited from….jackass.

Those are all some good backs. Earl and Bo just seemed like men among boys playing. Peterson, Walker, and Henry just slightly below...and it's not by much.

These are just my opinions. I'm sure you may have a different opinion. I've watched all of the RB's, and Bo as well as Earl just seemed a notch above in college. Walker was good and I would take him for sure. Peterson and Henry as well.
