No sir, guy is full on beast mode. I do think his height will limit him in the pros however. Won't be able to make the same type of cuts that he did @ Bama.

I think he will be pretty decent. He's massive, has good vision, and decent speed. Will make it somewhere.

LSU fans want him to be a bust so bad. It's kinda sad

I agree, it depends on who drafts him. He is a big strong back...similar to a Demarco Murray or Steven Jackson.

No, I think he will be a good player at the next level. Curious to see his numbers at the combine.

Henry will be yet another bust. He lacks the lateral movement and cutting ability to make it in the pros.

He goes to the Patriots and has a nice career, not hall of fame. I say he fills in the LaGarret Blount role for them.

His 400 carries or whatever he had this year has to give teams some pause

Murray =/= Jackson

Totally different back and totally different size.

Murray was 6'0 220lbs
Jackson was 6'2 240lbs
Henry is 6'3 240lbs

Ingram: 5'0, 215lbs, 4.62s 40
Richardson: 5'9, 228lbs, 4.48s 40
Lacy: 5'11, 231lbs, 4.57s 40
Yeldon: 6'1, 226lbs, 4.61s 40

He has potential to be a bruiser, but only three RBs in the top 20 in rushing this year played at listed 235lbs or greater. Lacy, Hill, and Stewart. We know Lacy was more like 260-270...Everyone else was more or less around 220. Interesting take on him.
