Yea you’re right, I’m just talking from a can’t miss perspective. 6-3, 247lbs and his combine numbers were basically identical to Von Millers so with his measurables and what he did in college vs the comp he faced it’s crazy he fell like he did.

That man is obsessed with old school players and teams. You’d think he’s a really old guy but apparently he’s not

This is why I hate the current team so much. They are getting money off the reputation guys like Henry and Cooper built, guys who earned and deserved to actually get endorsement deals.

I looked it up, apparently he was a 4.54 in the 40 at the combine. I really think that must have been a slow day for him. Not only is he fast for a big guy, but he is legit fast as well. I have never seen him once be caught by behind, both college and the pros.

There’s a major difference between running in track spandex and shoes, on a track like surface for the combine, vs pads, helmet, cleats and grass or grass turf.

I appreciate an elite athlete that can make fun of himself.

I remember looking Henry's high school stats and thinking he had been over worked with all of the carries. I didnt think he would last. He followed that up by being a workhorse at Bama, and is still going. Crazy.

Genetics, discipline, and work ethic are a crazy good combo. I hope he gets 2K this year

12,124 in HS (fricking bonkers)
3,591 at Bama
10,375 in the NFL

If he started to angle towards midfield then went back to the sideline he might’ve been able to get past that safety who had the angle
Would just have set the intercept point up sooner assuming the safety maintains his direction.

That's almost 15 miles running the football. With the stiff-arm highlights to boot.

So, he isn't the arguably the greatest athlete in history? Shocking. Oh, and Henry outweighs Jackson by 30 lbs. Jackson was playing against D-lineman that size.
