Him and Lamar in the same offense is unfair

I'm still not comfortable calling him that. However, I think there is a definite argument for Top 5 all-time. He's now firmly entrenched in the Top 10 list of career rushing yard leaders and is #3 all-time in rushing touchdowns.

Hes only 1k yards from 6th all time in yards. He'll surpass that this season.

Barry is better

But speaking of Barry, Henry is tied with Barry for most 1500+ rushing yard seasons ever. He has chance to pass him this year

Barry is not better.

Henry is going to be 35 having 1300-1500 yard sessons.

The amazing thing is that he didn’t have his first big breakout season until 2019. He turned 26 years old a week after that season ended.

Production for a RB typically begins to decline after age 26, and there’s been many running backs that had a great start to their careers, but are essentially done by age 26. Terrell Davis and Ezekiel Elliott are two that immediately come to mind.

King Henry can’t be compared to other RBs. He’s a unique specimen.

Barry retired at 31 and was still going strong.

Henry has broken into the top tier along with Barry, Jim Brown , Walter Payton, Emmitt.

John Riggins age 34 season: 15 games, 1,347 yards, 24 TDs.

That is 3 years after he came back out of retirement. He was the MVP of the Super Bowl the year before, with the greatest 4th down run in NFL history (LINK
