Henry's senior year he almost had more carries than LF'S entire highschool career. It's not a knock on Henry. There should be a law against a highschool coach running a player into the ground. 1387 highschool carries is insane.

Meh, 150-200 probably.

Henry has 50 more right now and will play at least 1 more game than Fournette to close the season.

That is pretty crazy. He also broke his damn leg as a fresh. Dude is pretty durable.

I worry about his durability in the NFL, he runs so upright.

That will get you cracked in the league.


ETA: Henry isn't built like a NFL back. He's slender in the hips and legs, relative to NFL backs. The durable guys are built like Mack trucks.

Fournette piled up the majority of his yards before his FB and blocking TE went out for the season and his two freshman guards' inexperience got exposed.

I think that probably also had to do with better competition, but maybe that is why. I don't know.

41% of his season total for rushing yards came against Auburn, Syracuse and Eastern Michigan.


George you're way too savvy not to get that losing Moore and Gordon knocked a hole in Fournette's production for over half the year. That's football, no tears shed, but both of those guys were at or near the best blockers in the nation at their positions. After Hawkins' injury the Tigers often had 3 freshmen on the OL down the stretch. Also don't forget that both Fournette and Henry sat out much 4th quarter time during the season.

I don't worry about him at all. He's already proven a ton of people wrong, our own fans included. Many people said he wouldn't even be a RB. Now he's about to collect the Trophy. I never bet against him, and I won't start now.

Trent Richardson should be on there over Mark Ingram. Dude was a monster at Bama- throw his NFL career out the door. Just an incredible talent

Feedback so far is...

Tier 1- Run DMC, Derrick Henry, Tud

Tier 2- Marcus Lattimore, Mark Ingram, LF

Rest of the field...

Derrick henry belongs no where near 1st tier. He's had 1 good season and isn't even leading the sec rbs in ypc.

About the draft? That's daft.

Sure. Look me up in a year and a half.

LF'S true freshman season was better than Hurd's year this year.

1. McFadden
2. Henry
3. Richardson
4. LF7
5. Ingram

Honorable mention: Lacey, Tj Yeldon, Cadillac William, Ronnie Brown, K. Moreno, Knile Davis

It's hard to place Gurley and Lattimore on here as they really didn't have complete dominant seasons.

I'm confident LF7 is #1 after next year barring injury.

Fournette isn't even the best back this year. He doesn't deserve to be any where near a top 5 list.
Actually he is. Just because he's not on the best team doesn't make him the best back
