I'll give you this one, but we are all sick of hearing from Alabama fans that their guys are the best at every position.
DH is a breath of fresh air, as he gets better every year and is just easy to pull for.

The overhyping and revisionist history of Barry Sanders has been something to see. A loser who never won anything and quit on his team. Yea he had some fun highlights runs. No more than other great RBs

Sanders was good. He was fun. But not a top 5. Couldn't count on him. He'd break one for an exciting 89 yard gain, but he could also lose 3 when they needed 3.
Total Negative Yardage: Over his 10-year career with the Detroit Lions, Sanders lost 1,114 yards behind the line of scrimmage.Yearly Average: He lost an average of 110 yards per season on negative plays.
The correct answer is Walter Payton.

Over 15k rushing yards in 10 years due the math… now due the math on another RB not name Jim Brown

Top 5 is Barry, Peterson, Brown, Payton and Henry. Don’t ask me the order.

The man is discipline personified. I remember on a Thanksgiving Day game, he refused to even take a bite out of a cobbler, because it wasn’t on his approved diet.

Henry is an all timer

John Riggins often gets compared to Henry, because of their size and production past age 30, but there some key differences.
Riggins didn’t technically retire in 1980. He wanted a raise, the Redskins didn’t give him one, so he didn’t play.
1980: Rested at home
1981: Split carries with the starting RB Joe Washington
1982: Strke-shortened season
1983: Riggins had 1,300 yards at age 34.
Riggins had a lighter workload for three consecutive seasons leading up to his big 1983 season. He only had a grand total of 1,200 yards spread across those three seasons. He didn’t have near the typical wear and tear on his body the average RB experiences.
Riggins also averaged about 3.5 yds/att. Henry is averaging about 5.5 yards with the Ravens.
Riggins was a different type of back. He would ground and pound, keep possession, and convert first downs. He wasn’t a big play threat.
Like Henry, Riggins is unique and hard to compare him to any other RB, including Henry.

I think Henry is underrated af. Dude is a fricking DE playing rb.
In an era of pass happy offenses filled with scat backs and receiving rbs, he's a throwback rb and is still dominant.

Yep dude has been a monster since HS

Barry is the GOAT. 1,526 average yards per season, 99.8 yards per game. Averaged 1,772 yards per season, 110.8 yards per game outside of the run and shoot offense. As of today Henry has played 1 more career game than Barry and is over 2,000 yards behind him in rushing yards. Henry is an all timer but he’s not Barry.
