No particular order

Will ignore high school kid Houston McTear and Bob Hayes and Tyreek Hill who were college RB's

Marcus Dupree 9.5
Herschel Walker 10.23
Raheem Mostert 10.26
Bo Jackson 9.5
Curtis Dickey 10.10 and world ranked
Jamaal Charles 10.18
Michael Bennett 10.18 also
O.J.Simpson 9.4
Travis Williams 9.3
Adrian Peterson 10.2ish HS
Eric Dickerson 9.4
Chris Johnson 10.3ish
Marshall Faulk 10.3ish

10 plus

The best 250 pound backs Cookie Gilchrist the first AFLer to have a 1000 yard season and The Nigerian Nightmare Christian Okoye

You can tell OP’s football knowledge is derived entirely from playing Madden on Xbox. “Running back has 99 speed! That means he’s the best!”

Fast doesn’t mean shite if you have the vision of Trent Richardson aka Stevie Wonder or the elusiveness of an elephant.

Does Derrick Henry get a point for stiff arm?

What is the point of this topic? Yes, there are faster RB's than Henry, but his sheer size in conjunction with his speed is what makes him so good. His long arse legs also contribute since it looks very hard to tackle him low once he gets going.

Also, he has what you call "long speed" as his initial acceleration is not elite, but once he does, his top end is. He also works his arse off to get better at the things he needs to improve and that showed on his 76 yard run last night. Have you seen him accelerate in the open field like that before? He looks to have improved his leg speed and that is downright scary.

Here is some HS slowness from Henry. GTFO with this crap. Living in Jax, they showed him a lot on tv, dude was faster than most ON the field.

Speed is like the third best attribute of Henry.
