The guy is a monster. No clue how he was under the radar for so long. He’s massive and can run fast.

He’s just in a great situation in Tennessee.

He’s not as good as his numbers.

This could be the hottest of the hot takes I’ve seen.

Coaches refused to feed him. His carried were so limited up until the end of last season

of a certain style, I agree with you. Looks like a young Earl Campbell. So violent

He's a beast, but I don't think he's on Cook's or McCaffery's level yet.

I’m not sure if he’s the best RB, but I do think he’s the most important RB for a team.

What’s behind this strange opinion about him not being on the same level as Cook?

Cook has shown for multiple years now he can put up great numbers behind a shitty offensive line.

He had a TON of contact/nowhere to go/the original play was blocked poorly on his best runs last night

0 games with 155 or more yards rushing... Derrick has done it 8 times since December 5 of 2018.

Which is rarely ever.

I hate Bama as much as everyone, but Henry is a violent as hell runner who has the body to be fed 20+ carries without wearing down.

It'll be interesting if he can improve in the pass game, if so watch out.

Yep, new school NFL philosophy dictates your entire offense is built around the pass and the running game is supplementary.

With a RB like Henry you can make old school football still work though.

Do receiving yrds not count for running backs?

Because cook gets roughly 30% of his yards from receiving, so your little stat seems kinda pointless

They do not count as rushing yards
