    He’s 28, is a workhorse, and coming off a broken foot. I never expected him to be the best running back year after year. It’s rare for an NFL running back to even be the best back to back seasons. But as you said, he’s still a very good running back. Henry also hasn’t gotten the blocking yet to the point where he has clear open field, but it’s obvious on those screen passes, that he’s still very dangerous in the open field.

    I don't know why Henry wouldn't be in shape? He's had all offseason to get in shape...a little hesitant about his foot? Maybe. But the man is in shape

    Yep. It's more that he's hitting the age of decline for backs. The Cowboys are going through the same thing with Zeke. We should be thrilled that henry has looked as good as he has all things considered

    Yep, running backs age quicker than any other position in football.

    He showed up to camp looking ripped and actually looks a bit leaner (maybe to take some weight off the surgically repaired foot?), and pretty much takes all the snaps unless it’s an obvious passing situation, so he’s definitely in shape.

    i think derrick henry is elite and will be elite for years to come. hes racking up like 150 yards of offense vs the worst offensive line and half the time he runs we have no WRs on the field its just like a giant sign being held up that we are running

    Seriously this man is in ridiculous shape. I find it odd he always appears to bulk up top yet his legs to me seem slim….likely just the way his uni makes him look.

    He does look slim in the legs but he's 6'3 250lbs... I'm sure it's just an illusion and his legs are plenty big and strong.

    And yeah, if anyone questions if Henry is in shape, they're out of their mind. Dude works hard
