re: Will Derrick Henry be in the Football HOF one day?

Has the BEST RB of his era ever had trouble getting in?

That's the key metric imo.

Jim Brown - OJ Simpson - Walter Peyton - Eric Dickerson - Barry Sanders - Emmit Smith - LaDanian Tomlinson, etc...

We can debate the runner-ups, the wildcards and the compilers but the pick of the litter - THE guy; the one on the bedroom posters and the top of the fantasy draft charts - he always gets in.

For better or worse, Henry is the top dog of his era. All he needs to do is finish his career without some horrible incident on or off the field.
