He'll eventually set the record for most yards rushing as well.

Undoubtedly among the greatest RBs in the history of the game. He's the only RB in history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season in high school, college, and the NFL.

Probably would have if the Titans hadn't put him on the sidelines for his first 2 years. Now catching Smith is a longshot...he should end up #3 alltime more than likely.

He’s a beast. Yall should be proud.

barner Luginbill said he'd never be a college RB.

Some NFL talking heads predicted he wouldn’t have success in the NFL.
quote:
Ahead of the 2016 NFL Draft, analysts and scouts questioned whether Derrick Henry would succeed due to concerns about his running style and positional value.
Scouting Concerns and Doubts
High Center of Gravity & Size: At 6-foot-3 and around 245 pounds, scouts worried his tall frame for a running back would make him an easy target for low tackles and limit his durability.
One-Dimensional Style: Draft evaluators labeled him a bruising, straight-line downhill runner who lacked elite lateral quickness and agility to make sharp cuts in crowded NFL backfields.
Passing Game Limitations: Critics doubted his receiving and pass-blocking abilities, viewing him strictly as a two-down hammer rather than a modern three-down weapon.
Specific Evaluations: Draft analyst Matt Miller famously declared that Henry was "not an elite RB prospect". Former Philadelphia Eagles scout John Middlekauff echoed similar doubts despite Henry's massive Heisman-winning season at Alabama, stating he didn't view him as an elite pro prospect. Meanwhile, former scout Dan Hatman suggested he wouldn't value spending an early pick on him, reflecting a wider front-office skepticism about drafting running backs high

In their defense, he wasn't the prototypical RB that was seeing success in the NFL when he was drafted in 2016. Many also thought that Saban had ridden him to death in 2014 and 2015 and there wasn't much tread left on the tires. No one, not even the most optimistic Henry fan, could have predicted what he was going to become.

That was a dumb narrative. He had a normal amount of carries for a 3 year player.

He takes very good care of his body. His off-season workouts and durability are legendary. Dude is a straight beast.

His dietary and training regiment is very strict. He leaned down a lot over the years. He’s 32 years old and God willing he stays healthy, he will pass LT for sure.

Any scout that doubted Henry going into NFL draft should never be taken seriously ever again
