I guess this explains his shocking early entry to the draft. Hope it works out for him so he can take care of his family.

What kind of 40 times do you all expect from Ragland and Henry?

At least 4.5 from Henry. Maybe a 4.4. Really have no idea about Ragland. Maybe 4.65?

I find it hard to believe Henry is only an inch taller than Drake.

Geez....I sure hope he gets at least a $100K or so - to sign, and then he can always go back and finish his degree....

He'll make the team somewhere. I hope everything works out for him.

I saw that and I questioned the numbers... I'll have to find a picture of henry and Drake standing together.

Looks like Henry is slightly taller than Drake.

I guess so. It's not that I thought Drake was short, I just thought Henry was about 6'4".

Just read that Henry will not be running the 40 at the combine. He's going to run the 40 yard dash at Alabama's pro day March 9th..

That's interesting, because I found this earlier and it sounded like he was going to run:

Idk. Titans beat writer tweeted this.

Not sure if Henry is running the 40 or not at the combine. I've seen folks report that he is and he isn't. Guess we'll find out when the RBs do the drill..

Good analytical article about combine drills. Kind of surprised that the 5 year average 40 yard dash time for RBs is 4.61..

Looking at the site -- noticed that Henry's hands are 8 3/4" long.....Drake's are 9 3/4" --- that surprised me.

CrimsonForce · Feb 25, 2016

NFL combine bench-press reps (225 lbs) for RBs.

Derrick Henry did 22 reps.

Kenyan Drake did 10 reps.

Ezekiel Elliott chose not to bench press.

Saw this from a senior NFL draft analyst: "If we forgot to do the bench press drill at the combine no one would miss it. Overrated and useless."

Elliott nursing an injury? Or didn't want to look "pale" in comparison to Henry?

Alasippi · Feb 25, 2016

I'm confused. I thought today was for kickers.
All I know about Derrick was that he weighed in at 6'2 242 pounds.
Did the running backs actually do bench presses on day one???
I can't imagine but someone enlighten me.
