Yeah, and he goes to an NFL team with no offensive identity. The best defense we faced at LSU exposed you can’t just run through him

He still has talent, but I don’t see him ever making an impact in Jax

Henry is also facing defenders in the backfield all night and a stacked box, and he makes something out of it.


Henry also doesn’t have a JV OL

Yeah, a lot of similarities with Richardson

To be fair Trent was beat to frickin death in high school. He had several significant surgeries that people never talk about. Escambia had the worst offensive line I've ever seen at that level. But as a Jags fan it still hurts that we drafted Fournette over Deshaun Watson and Mahomes. Still not as bad as Bears drafting a 1 year college starter in Trubisky though.

It’s really weird to brag about being wrong in hindsight

Yea so do a lot of RBs. He’s not the only back to have o line problems. His field vision is terrible.

Same thing with Fournette. It seemed like he got the ball 40 times a game in high school and the entire defense was after him

Lol. Y'all can't be basing this off of watching this game.. They gave up running because he's getting hit 2 yards in the backfield as soon as he touches the ball.

He lost 15 pounds this off season I don't see fat

His O-line is awful.

They aren’t even the worst o line. Arizona is worse. Cincy. Miami obviously. Houston.

The stadium is less than half full. I suppose the fans have given up.

same deal as Trent Richardson, so much better of an athlete in HS and college than everyone else

I agree with this, since he was always so much more athletic he never had to develop much in terms of skills that don’t involve being physically superior

he never developed one bit of a work ethic


This is absolute crap, or at least was while in college. The dude worked his arse off at LSU

They had similar numbers in college. But please don't tell me you're gonna compare the two considering their o-lines. Fournette needs a new team with at least an average line.

Too slow out of the block, bad vision also. Hate to say it as a fan but he is a bust

He isn’t a RB1. Let’s put it that way.
