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

Fournette had ideal measurables so lots of hype from the start.
Something to be said actually watching a guy work — Henry is just shiftier and always had that sudden burst.
Taboo, but Henry as a back reminded me more of Guice than Fournette.

Guice was the better back. He could slip, slide and pivot. Things Fournette wasn't especially good at. Another great college rb who wasn't dominant in the NFL is Darren McFadden. He dominated college but if you're stiff in the hips, the NFL will shut you down. Neither D-Mac or Fournette had any wiggle at all.

and has better field vision. fournette was not known for his vision. of course all those toss dives may not have helped.
