Video: Derrick Henry Doing Pushups: Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid

[tlockwood]

You would have to pay me a bunch of money to even try that!

His secondary muscular system must be incredibly strong. Just to keep the correct form gives your body a complete work out. Then add the push up, and, wait for it, a frikkin chain! Wow!

And in other news: Derrick Henry is enroute to the Suez canal to pull a stuck boat off the bank.

And to think, we almost wasted his time here. Thank goodness for 2015.

All of our all conference, All-American, Hesiman trophy winning, NFL running backs by definition wasted their time here in the first couple of years. It's the nature of the beast and all of them understand it. We could have used him more but it was not almost a waste of his time IMO.

 

[CajunCrimson]

The force is strong with this one.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

I hope he tears up the record books while his body still allows him to be dominant and puts himself eligible for the HOF. That would be awesome for a Bama player to be elected to the HOF, especially at one of the premier positions in the game.

Wait until you see my push up. It’s on point. Not only do I have a chain around my neck, it has a ball attached to it. It’s a nagging pain, but I work my way through it.

Wasted him in the second half of the playoff game against OSU in 2014.

Rewatched some 2015 games today. Henry was such a monster at bama. The scary thing about him is he would get like 25-35 carries and he seemed to be better in the fourth qtr than the first qtr. And he never seemed to get tired.

 

[Bama_N_Va]

I wonder what his YASA average is???

Wasted him in some games but we did not waste his time at Bama as was originally stated.

Putting this here. Legendary.

I love the one against Norman. The sideline was going nuts.

 

[Whirleybird]

I remember Derrick's roommate at Bama saying he woke up in the middle of the night and Derrick was on the floor between the beds doing pushups. This while Derrick was a freshman.

 

[CajunCrimson]

The best is when he turns the defensive guy around and then uses him as a blocker, lol.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

I cannot remember who was all a part of the draft that Henry was, but I think it is safe to say if there was a "re-draft" he would definitely be in the top 5. BEAST!!!

DH was the 45th pick in the 2016 draft, LOL.

Doesn't seem possible that it has been five years.

NFL GMs. Always the smartest guys in the room.

And with the second pick of the 1998 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers select Ryan Leaf
