Derick Henry wasn’t even the best player on his team. Tj Yelden was way better IMO

That's funny he only did well because his OLine dominated on every play, but he got 70% of his yards that season AFTER contact.

Never change LSU fans.

I didn’t say he was terrible but if that contact was at or behind the los he was going down. Compare that to Clyde Edwards and they both had a lot of yards after contact stats but it didn’t matter with him, he was going to make someone miss or run you over. He was one of the many college backs who I think were better than DH, however, I do want to say DH was a beast and fit perfectly in the system he was in, he wore down defenses and seems to have gotten even better in the NFL but he’s not the goat IMO.
