The NFL has never seen a player with Henry’s combination of size and speed.


Are they suggesting Bo and Herschel aren't comparable? I would guess both were faster than Derrick and not that different in size.

Muschamp wanted him as a LB


He could have been all world at LB, and paid better too.

All-world RB’s do alright though, and they get to win Heismans

Still annoying that he got the Heisman (downhill runner at Bama getting 75 carries/game) over McCaffrey.


When you can stiff-arm DBs into the third row of the stands and LBs to the first row everything is running downhill. Man can't help he is/was a human snow plow.

Just wish AL fans didn’t have to post every factoid that pops into their heads about guys that are so far removed from their programs that a casual fan doesn’t remember where they went. Haha!


This is pathetic.

Why? Just why would you bring objective fact into this discussion? Why?

Nah. He had a monster line. McCaffrey played for Stanford.

I think he's a great kid and he's been amazing in the NFL. But the Heisman was silly. Bama could have plugged almost anyone into that role that year. McCaffrey played for Stanford.
