Henry is a athletic freak really.

but watch his 3 cone drill and then it hits you...he won't create much but wouldn't be problem in Dallas.

One cut and gone. Plenty of DB's will be making Business decisions.

This is what I am waiting for. It's been no secret the guy is dynamite in a straight line. I want to see how long it takes him to gather that speed and how much he loses when he changes direction.

One cut and gone. Plenty of DB's will be making Business decisions.

He'll have to make linebackers and athletic linemen miss some of the time for that to happen, which is going to mean COD skills. Even in a great zone blocking scheme, the back usually needs to make one guy miss with his cut.

It's going to be hilarious watching all those corners with Mike Jenkins syndrome when Henry does get to the outside or into the secondary though.

Right. I love the the whole "the holes aren't that big in NFL" crowd with him. Or the LB's are bigger! I guess they forget the holes our Oline have opened up for 2 years that I could run through, and what LB's? Ro and who else is bigger than Henry?? Demarco put LB's on there butts! Plus anybody see Henry get caught from behind in the beloved NFL breeding ground SEC??

Murray,McFadden and even Randle made a lot of guys miss at the LOS not just by making the right cut (which is why people worry about Henry's vision), but by also making someone miss at the LOS and in the hole frequently. Murray had a fantastic jump step he used in the hole very effectively.

I am not worried about Henry physically at all. I am worried about his vision. In the second round, that fear lessens substantially though.

 

[Vinnie2u]

They just put Von Millers and Henry's combine numbers up on the NFL network. Identical. height , speed, weight, jump..

 

[IAmLegend]

5.54? Typo? I watched him run both times and do not recall him running that slow. 4.52 and 4.54 is what I remember (no sure on the order).

Typo, yes. Meant 4.54. Apologies.

So guys run for 2,200 all the time in CFB, and break a record that has been there since the 80's from Hershal, all while playing with a crappy QB huh?

I would rather have Zeke, but Henry will bring us back to the only time this offense has been feared.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I doubt dallas will get either of the 2 hut Henry is faster than I thought.

Did you specifically edit out the part where I said I would take him in the second and I am not worried about his physical ability at all?

I wouldn't call Coker "crappy". He's going to get drafted.

 

[IAmLegend]

After his combine, I don't expect Derrick Henry to be around when we pick at 34. My opinion.

 

[texbumthelife]

Went back and actually looked at Henry's shuttle and cone. Damn, this kid is ridiculous. If he has the vision he is going to Jim Brown some fools.

I'm eager to see this as well but the one cut and gone scenario, with some DBs lying on their backs in his wake, is a tantalizing thought.

I almost think he would be perfect Hammer with speed RB to compliment him.

 

[USMarineVet]

Henry all day at 34!

 

[Gaede]

Henry should be there at 34. Too many good DL prospects and teams are seriously devaluing the RB position

His 10yd looked slow for a guy that ran a 4.5s 40. I didn't see his 3 cone and shuttle, though.

 

[sureletsrace]

I would be shocked if Henry wasn't there at 34, and I'd be even more shocked if we took him.

He wont be. dallas isnt getting either of them.

 

[kevm3]

Henry would be a monster for us in the 2nd.
