    Henry is a beast, but he's a 2 down back imo. He doesn't ever catch the ball out of the backfield. I'd have a really hard time taking him before round 3.

    he's a 3 down back, haven't seen many RBs block 2 guys at once, but I've seen Henry do that effectively enough to say his blocking ability would make it easier to complete passes just as much as a receiving threat out f the backfield would, also in reference to JCB's post about the play calling that was one of the most frustrating things I've ever watched, almost every team passes way too much overall, and especially on 3rd and 3 or less, Whis passes about 78% of the time in 3rd and short and it should be about a 60% run situation imo

    Tall RB's dont work? Since when lol


    being short and low to the ground has some advantages sure, but so does having the length of an Eddie George..

    it's not like Henry is slow either...

    he'll probably finish top 5 40 time at the combine

    Problem with Henry is he has poor lateral agility. I think he would work better in a zone blocking scheme, one cut and go. Once he gets to the second level he is hard to stop. Just has a problem making his own holes... He is a really interesting player I could see go anywhere from the 1st round to the 3rd.

    I wish we could get Jalen Hurd once he declares for the draft. Love that kid. A lot like Eddie.

    Henry needs what all average backs need: great O-line.


    Which tells you all you need to know about Henry. Mediocrity defined. Told you guys the same thing about his alter ego: Trent Richardson.

    alternative?.... Zeke Elliott..

    Zeke is the best RB prospect in terms of all-round. (blocking, receiving, laterals, playing in space - and in terms of the North to South game, Henry has the snowplow on the front to just push a few defenders out of the way..... Zeke has the RPMS to jet straight by them.)

    Let me be as clear as I can be: Henry will bust if drafted by the Titans. He has a moderate chance of success with the Cowboys or similar team. Henry was fortunate to run behind the mammoth OL at Bama which opened holes large enough Chris Henry could see them. He won't be so fortunate with the Titans
