Anyone surprised Derrick Henry turned out to be way better than Fournette in the NFL?

Henry has been 100% better than Fournette as a pro. I thought it was clear that Fournette was more talented when they were in college. It was unreal how good he was despite the lack of imagination of Les Miles and company. I guess it must have been the purple and gold glasses that made me think he was a cut above Henry.
Henry dominates the league every year now and Fournette can’t even find a team currently.

Henry seems to run on a whole different level mentally, looking back on it, it sure seemed like Fournette would of been the better one.

Fournette lets himself get fat.
Henry is a workout warrior. There is your answer.

Another night of shite posting. What’s your problem?
Henry was a heisman winner & national champion, so I’m not sure anyone was surprised he did well in the NFL

Not at all. Stronger back

Fournette was outrageously overrated
Henry was properly rated

No. Both were freaks of nature in high school and college. Fournette got out of shape and lost his explosiveness that set him apart. He’s still had moments of greatness in the NFL but Henry is consistently great.

Dude so dumb Fournette got a ring

Different style of back. Look at how big Henry is

Carreer similarities between Ricky Williams and LF7.

Henry's been better than every back drafted in the last 10 years, and with the NFL's deprioritizing the position, a back taken in the second round has been considered for a long time now to be a high pick for a running back. Henry, for example, was only the second running back taken in 2016 even though he lasted until the second round.
So no, given the facts surrounding the position and the reality that we're only talking one round difference, it's not surprising at all.

I’m not surprised at all. Power runners seem to all have an attitude towards breaking tackles. Derrick Henry, combined with his size, may be the best we’ve seen, and will see for a long time. Think beast mode on every carry. Fornette had IT too but not on every carry.

No, Fournette was always prone to injuries. Henry was a beast...

Fournette was better in college and also got beat to shite. Henry had plenty of runs where not a soul touched him.
To be fair, even with miles on his body, Leonard still seemed to get lazy and spoiled. Henry has a whole other fire in the pros.

Big bruising running backs never last long in the NFL. Fournette should have made himself slimmer and quicker.
Henry was just a more elusive back overall and avoided contact despite being just as large as Fournette.

Fournette has more god given ability as a pure RB than Henry but a lot of your success in the NFL is based on the situation around you. Henry was placed in a great spot under Vrabel with the titans while fournette played with the jags during mostly bad years but got to reap the benefits of playing with Brady. Henry does seem to keep himself in better shape more consistently than Leonard.
