two different type of backs and body types. Zeke was good size RB with some speed and explosiveness but when he started adding mass to protect his body from all the hits he lost his burst. Henry was always a big back and he had more "room" to add a little bulk and not let it affect his game.
It was the Corona virus. After he caught a good dose of it, he lost the spring in his step and never got it back.
He was more interested in partying than training. You look at Henry, he lives a clean lifestyle way under his means. look at Emmitt, he lived a pretty clean life style spent most of his money on maintaining his body and mind and that is why he went as long as he did. Sanders was same way. Stop partying and take care of what the good lord gave you and it will keep you moving long in to the later years.
Wow. I never thought about this, K. Thinking about it, now, it makes sense. Is it true that Zeke got the Corona virus? If so, how many times and during what years/seasons?
So true.
Yes. Don't remember the date, but I vividly remember him never coming back from it. Robbed him of burst and vitality. He was never the same.
Doubt it.
Well, that's what happened.
Henry is a workout beast and started his career sharing carries with Demarco. They were never gonna have the same longevity.
Are we sure he partied anymore than anyone else? I’ve always seen fans assume that I guess because of his trouble before entering the league but I don’t recall hearing too many stories about his partying.
He had covid, but he got his bag, and was no longer hungry.
That's my thought as well.
