Maybe this is why a lot of folks thought Henry would play linebacker. He's got the exact same measurables and combine workout of the best defensive player in the NFL..

Another interesting question: "Could Derrick Henry play linebacker in the NFL?"
I realize asking if running backs would be good linebackers is like wondering if deer would make effective pack hunters. Then again, if a particular deer is jacked beyond belief and willing to run through walls to get what it wants, the pallor of the question changes a bit.
I mean, I wouldn't want to see Derrick Henry running full-speed to tackle me with hate in his eyes. Not even once.
Dan is on Twitter. He can list six-cylinder cars he'd prefer to see coming at him over Derrick Henry.
So, he's not master of his domain? :wink:Ryan Kelly looks like he's handling himself.
Yeah I could've worded that differently [emoji23][emoji23]So, he's not master of his domain? :wink:
Not very impressive group speed wise.First 3 WRs have run in the 4.66 to 4.75 range. Most of them so far are under 6 ft tall. Makes Henry's 40 time look really good considering the height and weight of Henry..
The man breaks virtually every Alabama and SEC record (passing the likes of Herschel Walker and Bo Jackson), wins the Heisman, SEC Championship, and National Championship as a running back and people STILL want to put him at linebacker. If ever the acronym "SMH" were appropriate...Caught this article from Dan Carson at FoxNews on Henry at the combine: http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2016/...nce-almost-completely-mirrors-von-miller.html
Best line from the article after the comparison of Henry's combine to Von Miller's......
Cool chart. Where did you find that?Derrick Henry percentiles vs other RBs
Wow, Henry has extremely small hands for his height. That's physical disproportion on par with Roman Harper's neck.Derrick Henry percentiles vs other RBs
Dang CrimsonForce you are bringing the heat with this chart. I love a good chart.Derrick Henry percentiles vs other RBs
