Moving up from 67 for Henry

Actually it appears that Henry is very goof in Short area quickness, per that sports science deal he was faster then Zeke. It was very amazing to watch actually

Actually Henry has excellent acceleration but doesn't not have short area quickness like Zeke.

Henry would be a battering ram for this offense, By time the 4th quarter rolls around defenses will not want to tackle him any more.
He is the kind of RB that looks like he is having a quiet average game and the next thing you know he has 140 rushing yards.

Yep. I'm staring to like the sound of this more and more.
Heard George comparisons. I like a slightly slower Okoye with a better feel for the game.

I'm no fan of the Tide, but Henry is one of the most interesting RB prospects I have ever seen. You just don't see guys like that playing RB. Hes a monster and he uses his huge size advantage to destroy tacklers. Watching him destroy college defenses by just running right at them was ridiculous.
It seems like if he is hit early before he builds momentum he is in trouble, but once the big guy gets going no one wants to take him on. Hes like a more athletic and violent brandon jacobs.

The question is, can he just steam roll defenses like he did in college? Or maybe in the NFL against guys with his size and athleticism he wont be so intimidating. I can't imagine his play style will make for a long career but Lynch was a violent back and had a long run. Im a bit concerned about him being one dimensional because Alabama had Drake to balance out Henry's weaknesses.

He is not more violent than Jacobs. God i cant wait until we pass on this dude.

Henry is a DeMarco Murray clone with more speed and slightly more power. Neither has true short area quickness. Both need a hole to get going. Neither can create on their own. Henry will break more long ones than Murray because of his speed.

I don't think Henry is faster than Murray. Didn't Murray run sub 4.5? Henry didn't at the Combine.

They said he measured to be the most explosive player in three years at any position. They also said his force was that of a normal sized wrecking ball. lol

But his change of direction was awkward and slow..so I'm not sure "quick" would be the description. But explosive straight line, yes.
Haven't seen it, but I assume his 3-cone is not amazing.

But the man is 6'3" and about 245..
