Coming from an Auburn fan: Derrick Henry might be the best back ive ever seen

[Swagnificent]

Shut the hell up

He's better than any RB at Auburn. Plus his backup Kamara is better than any RB at Auburn as well.

Bet you wish you got the 5 star juco rb that actually lived up to the hype this season.

What makes Zeke more complete than Henry? They've both have gaping holes to run through. I watched a few games and I think he's good at breaking tackles, but that's really it. He doesn't have great cuts or much elusiveness. Cook is better than both if you look at what they do with the ball.

I agree. Cook is the best RB in college right now. IMO it goes:

1. Dalvin Cook
2. Jalen Hurd
3. Leonard Fournette
4. Royce Freeman
5. Ezekiel Elliot
6. Nick Chubb
7. Derrick Henry

Derrick is a beast and he would have shined on any team with that freaky size and above average speed. But the best ever is a whole nother subject. Not with cats like Bush Peterson Ricky Williams Rashaan Salaam Ron Dayne etc. dominating in college too.

does NOT belong in this conversation....shouldn't have even won the Heisman back in '94....
Eric Bieniemy was a better back

I see nikkas already named a lot of better backs, I'll take Cadillac Williams and Fred Taylor over dude.

He looks just like the rest of the good backs they've had the past few years. Nothing special

Henry is gonna be another Eddie Lacy

Dalvin is a bigger faster Jamaal Charles

Nah I actually seen Jovon run his ass off and push through Alabama defenders like they were from Idaho. Jalen Hurd irrelevant ass did less in the game than Robinson did in one half. Lack of usage =/= lack of ability

Fournette has not shown the footwork and creativity with the football as Henry. I've seen Henry create more with little while Fournette struggles in those situations.

Fournette cannot do this

You can't dance around like that in the NFL. DLs are too quick and get off blocks for RBs to be dancing around like that.

Henry reminds me of Blount

Yes you can! Runners make something into nothing like that all the time in the NFL. Henry will kill in a zone blocking scheme. He's a one foot in the ground and plant guy. Meanwhile, you're impressed by Fournette running through bus wide holes.

man those early 90s Colorado teams were beastly. Should've won more than they did

 

[smitty22]

Again most complete college back. Speed, power, hands, pass protection, he does it all. 1st back drafted this year hands down.

May have been better but 2000 and 24 td's beats 1600 17 tds all day.

He's too stiff​

His carries in the last two games are more Drake's all year.

Henry has only had 40+ attempts twice in his career and that was the last two games.
