still puzzling to me how he was a 2nd round draft pick.

He's always been underestimated.

Even though he was a five star player coming out of high school, he was listed as an Athlete by several recruiting services. There were a number of people wondering if he could be a RB in college due to his size. There were many Alabama fans who thought Saban would move him to linebacker even though he was told he could come in and compete at running back.

Definition of Beast.

Shaun Alexander’s 01-05 peak was pretty fricking incredible

Henry was on all time pace last year before injury but 2018-now is also pretty fricking fantastic

Yes and it’s not close

Hurts

I loved watching Shaun Alexander run the ball. In college and in pros - he was very talented

It’s a devalued position and he doesn’t catch passes. he also didn’t do much until the end of his 3rd year. He’s been great since but much more in line with a 2nd round or later pick.
