2013 RB Derrick Henry ultimate 2012 season highlights 

This looks like the clips of a grown ass man playing pee wee football. This man is a fucking beast. salute

when you max out everything on your NCAA road to glory...

Must have been absolutely terrifying to face in a game.

He made varsity football players look like 10 year olds! BEAST

This highlight reel is great because there is no need to point out Derrick Henry, you just know who he is.

I played running back for five years in junior high and high school, and I was offered a scholarship as a 5' 5", 141 pound left halfback to play at Troy State in 1960. I didn't take it because of cartilage damage in my left knee which I have to this day.If you want to read a good book on running backs, the best one by far I ever found was ALWAYS ON THE RUN, by Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick. One thing they said was that straight ahead runners don't get hurt and therefore have more longevity, whereas the twisters and turners like Gayle Sayers tend to have short careers because of the pressure their running style puts on their knees.Well, we are all studying this phenom named Derrick Henry, and I find myself, personally, trying to fit him into some sort of category. He's nearest Eric Dickerson as a stand-up runner, but it looks like he's matured this year (2015) into having more of a lean as he tries to run up the middle in his effort to reach the secondary, where he can begin taking those long strides.Which leads me to wonder if we have seen anyone with long strides like he has running the football like he does. We had Julio Jones here at Foley, in south Alabama, and I noticed long ago that the guy covered more ground in one stride than a lot of high school players did in two or three strides. But Julio was not a running back. I can't remember ever seeing a running back this good who was this long and tall.Someone on here has noted that Derrick reminds him of Marcus Dupree. Me too. But you know what reminds me of Marcus most about Derrick? His stiff-arm. Marcus would be sixty yards downfield running for Oklahoma and someone would try to tackle him on about the ten yard line and Marcus would flick his arm out there and the guy would be separated from Marcus. But Derrick will stiff-arm a guy for ten or fifteen yards sometimes -- am I wrong? I can't remember anyone else stiff-arming like either Marcus or Derrick. We also had Trent Richardson in this area (Pensacola, and he came over here to play Alma Bryant HS south of Mobile). High school guys would 'olay' musclebound Trent when he got within ten yards of the goal line on a fairly long run. On the above tape -- someone here has noticed this -- these little guys -- they LOOK little up against Derrick -- they don't just 'olay' Derrick -- they don't even seem to want to raise their arms. It is as though they are saying, 'Heck, he's going to get his yardage, so why should I even try to tackle this monster? People will understand.'There were quite a few national pundits, when Derrick signed with Alabama, who just couldn't seem to see how this guy could actually play running back in college. One may have been Mark Schlabach, if I remember correctly. These writers thought that Saban would turn Derrick henry into a linebacker at Alabama. I told some of them, No, Saban stood true to his word when D. J. Fluker, who wanted to play OL, in spite of the fact that his 5-star rating in high school when he was here at Foley HS, was based mainly upon his showing as a Noseguard when he was a junior. Fluker was probably the main reason that Alabama had such a devastating OL when they beat Notre Dame in the national championship game and when they beat Georgia the game before that for the SEC championship. The truth is, if you will allow me to say so, is that the word "Freak," though it is probably disrespectful, characterizes Derrick Henry as well as it did either Julio or Fluker. When have we seen guys like these in high school of college? Julio is and always has been a physical phenom. So is Derrick Henry. People are still trying to believe their eyes about this guy. They can't believe he is as fast as he is. And now that he has learned better how to get out of the backfield, through the linebackers, into the secondary, they are trying to fit him into some category or reference point. there isn't any. He's different from any running back they've ever seen. He looks slower than he is because of his long strides. One other thing. Derrick is serious about it all. He doesn't talk about himself to reporters when interviewed. It's about the team with Derrick. Oh, one other, other thing -- if a guy is a foot taller than you, and is as strong as a bull anyhow, do you want to tackle him? Marcus Dupree wasn't that tall -- he looked more like a regular human being. Tackling Derrick Henry, particularly to high school boys, must have been like trying to tackle a telephone pole. "It ain't natural."

Yulee's playbook... give the ball to Derrick Henry. On two, ready, BREAK!

Tell me you’re a 5* recruit, without telling me you’re a 5* recruit Crazy thing is, he’s still doing this in the NFL

I tried to create him in NCAA 2014 and the game told me to shut up.

He’s the only running back playing right now that makes nfl players look like they are in high school

You know you're in trouble when the biggest guy on the field is also the fastest guy on the field.

If this kid keeps out of trouble the sky is the limit.great vision and cutting ability. Add on the speed and size and you have got potential Heisman winner.

"What's the play, coach? Give it to Derrick Henry, or give it to somebody else?" "What do you think?"

Saban was so stupid for not using him more during the OU game. They would have won.

Can't wait to see Henry actually get some meaningful snaps next year. Reminds me of Marcus Dupree

They were straight up scared to tackle him lol

Imagine playing him for your homecoming game 😂😂😂

Without looking it up, didn't Henry go for 5,000 yards and 50 tuts in his senior year alone? And 12,000 yards in his high school career? Literally insane...

Back up WR - "I forgot the play" Everybody in the huddle - "Lol" QB - "Pitch to Henry on one"

Dudes straight up bigger and faster than everyone on the field, and still is in the league!

The size difference between Derrick and #24 on the defense of the last play in the vid😂

A visionary. If he stays healthy watch out. This guy runs as fast as he needs to which is a great talent, his stride will mature too. A man child who is not afraid to duck he head. Yes, a big Trent Richardson

I saw emmit play in high school as well as Stephen Davis Trent Richardson and this guy is the most dangerous running back ever. He has all the tools and it's a honor to watch him even though I'm an auburn fan.

I had the pleasure of watching this young man in person over the past three years. Believe me he is physical. Unfortunately they showed most of his touchdown breakaways, he is a workhorse also. Definitely has no fear going up the middle and dragging players along for the ride. Can't wait to see how Saban uses him at Bama. I'm a Gator, but wish this kid all the best.

The fact that he’s the biggest guy AND outruns the entire defense is ridiculous. And it’s crazy how that continued into the pros

This man had over 4000 rushing yards his senior year

People in 2012: “yeah, let’s see him do that in FBS football!!!!!” …….he did and then in the NFL……. He did again 😂😂😂 There will never be another King Henry

Here after the 99 yard TD

6:57 "and he can pass" *in my Boobie Miles uncle's voice*

A man amongst boys.

He got the rushing title

This instrumental hit hard

I don't understand why he doesn't have his own wikipedia yet, he's such a beast running back!

Imagine youre a Varsity guy, you just barely passed a Trig test earlier that day, failed your history test, and you remembered youre facing Yulee tonight The number 2 is forever etched into your mind, you might have tripped him once, but that is your highlight He is the Weapon X of Offense, Derrick Lamar Henry Jr. and he's here to scorch the Earth of your defense and make it back home in time to study for his next test, not on the field obviously, that doesnt test him

What an absolute beast. On a side note, their jersey combo was absolutely hideous 😂

6"3 height 4.4 speed , power , blocking ability , hands , tackle breaking.. hed be like the best wr ever if he played wr

This guy broke the "unbreakable record" of Ken Hall from Sugar Land Texas in the early 50's. Over 11,000 career rushing yards !

RTR!! CANT WAIT!

Ratchettnigga5, Henry is by no means slow. He's leaving guys behind in college too.

I am a Florida fan but the way Bama has developed great running back after great running back is some of the most impressive things I have ever seen in college football.

Much Success to my boy Derrick Henry your going to be next in line after TJ Yeldon as a great alabama back for anyone to question the speed of Henry Eddie Lacy definately doesnt have top end speed but they cant even really tackle him Im just so excited for the up in coming season our receiving core is CRAZZZY an defense is shaping up well RTR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow his guy very fast and power

Exactly my thoughts

Crazy how good he is for an upright runner with limited lateral movement.

Holy shit..Great runner, wish we could seen some tape of him in the passing game, see if he's a good pass blocker

he runs like a line man lmao, but is somehow fast with that technique lol

Never seen so many missed tackles in my life! Anywho roll tide baby! B2B champs

3:05 the safety #5 is garbage

A-Day coming up, who wants to see this beast on the field!!!! Roll Tide!!

When there's a glitch in the matrix...

1:44 That was a hell of a td run! I hope the cowboys draft Henry or Alex Collins in the 2nd round.

He's a long strider, his game speed is legit once he gets past the front 7. There are SEC DEs this kid's size, but not many DBs who would want to tackle this dude one on one in the open field. Playing behind that pro Alabama Oline, if Henry gets through the hole clean he's gone for at least 20 yards. Anyone who puts up the numbers this kid put up in HS will have no problem rushing for 1500+ yards/season in any conference.

How do you game plan against this?

Derrick Henry will be SB 55 champ and SB MVP against the Packers

Bruh, imagine facing someone that big, but then he’s faster than everyone on the field 😅

Rolllll Tideeee!

that's a big running back

I mean the sheer size of this man compared to everyone is wild. I do find it weird though that no one was going low on him.

He was bigger than his own linesman’s

you know how much people I seen in this video NOT try to tackle this guy?

Did u see him against the sooners he kept them in the game

really would of loved to of seen derrick henry play in one of the tougher divisions in florida. he plays against terrible teams. can't take much from these highlights really. henry is an amazing athlete getting tons of carries against terrible competition. he is going to get yards. if henry was doing this in 6a Miami high school football then Henry would be one of the best RB's I have seen. henry is am amazing athlete. interested to see how he does in the SEC.

DH made those defenses look like corporate boardrooms out there.

He ran for over 300 on two state runner ups

If these players watch Thursday Night Football, none of them should question their performances against the great Derrick Henry. I imagine tackling a Clydesdale horse would be easier than Derrick Henry.

Played a dude in HS around the same size at RB basically unstoppable unless you have a D full of dawgs but even still tackling a guy that size by the 4th it’s almost literally impossible to get them to the ground

It sucks that he got hurt i was looking forward to seeing him roll with Bama but he will be back

what's the name of the first song

... He had over 4000 yards this season. If he put more than 3 or 4 schools on this highlight tape the video would be half an hour. The video was constructed to show his ability. It does just that. Where do you see him being overrated? He's constantly underrated and looked over. Look for him in 2-3 years; this man will be a Heisman contender.

lets see how scott cochran develops him in the weight room he has competition at the RB position too. Bama signed 3 other RBs in this class.

This guy could play in college!

xF1revolution he is the #1 running back in the nation he broke a record that has not been broken since 1957

Dang....Alabama signed this guy...ITS NOT FAIR....Great job at recruiting him BAMA!!

Yo the kid at 2:50 is tough

i wonder what he was like freshmen yr in highschool

The playbook play by play: Derrick up the middle Derrick right/left Derrick counter right/left Derrick Direct snap Derrick slip screen Derrick Texas route Derrick draw

This reminds me of Adrian Peterson's high school tape. Man amongst boys.

I bet he does pretty well in college

imagine how fun itd be to be derrick henry in hs

@45 i would've gotten super low. This guy is hella tall

They knew he was gettin the ball, if 5 guys couldn't tackle him, he wasn't goin down 🤣🤣🤣

Bullet Train ? Reminds me of Gale Sayers, Eric Dickerson how he cuts and runs upright. He needs to lean forward just a little

This ladies and gentlemen…….. is a BAAAAAAAAD MAN…..

6'3 running back is in unheard of

He looks like a grown ass man

Great player that will end up a linebacker, he's 100 pounds heavier than most of the kids he's playing against and he runs straight up and is easy to tackle when it's someone his size

He is a GIANT compared to them. He'll get straightened out at Bama. They'll knock him around a couple times and he'll start lowering his pad level.

I don’t know if it would suck more to be the qb getting overshadowed by Henry or a db trying to tackle him.

Man i miss this guy i used to go to YMS (the middle school next to Yhs(Yulee High school)and i watched like all Henrys games i was a huge fan then he went off to college ;C but freank is right Henry is way better than fournette you need to have seen all his games not just the ones that were highlights i saw everyone of his games almost since his freshman year. And i have even meet the guy a few times when he is in the NFL i have his autograph YAY i have a few too Lol i could sell them! Also he is not slow watch him in real time not on T.v or on youtube cause there is always a Delay even if it's live it's not really Live in real time but Gg.

Yeah I have a feeling he will get small playing time his first two years...I wish he went to Georgia, the Dawgs could use a young short yardage/ third down running back, plus,not disrespecting Alabama, but Georgia seems better at adapting their offense to fit personal instead of bringing in personal to match the play style like 'Bama does. If he does get solid playing time I'm anxious to see him even though I'm a Georgia fan.

Also everyone who says if he is so good why didn't he start a a freshman. He set the Crimson Tide freshman rushing record with 1,108 in 2012 even though he didn't start also derrick Henry didn't even want to start as a freshman in college, he didn't have his confidence up high enough but as his confidence grow his time played also grows.

1 of my friends and i had a discussion on Derrick and if he could be considered the greatest High School running back or all-time. Derricks stats were so great back then, i dont think that we could play Madden or NCAA and get numbers like this. Well not cheating anyway. My friend said that he the goat for high school hands down. I looked at my friend after he said this and said there was this 1 cat that could give him a run for his money on being the goat. This persons name is Marcus Dupree. Now Dupree didnt have or come close to having over 12,000 yards for his high school career, it more 7,250. His rushing avg was a little over 8 yards per carry. Dupree had 80 to 85 rushing TDs and i know that he broke a record that some cat named Herschel Walker had set. Total rushing touchdowns. Now i think Herschel had 82 or 83, but whatever it was, Dupree broke it by 1. The reason i onow a good little bit about Marcus Dupree, i had to play against this monster. This man was born in Philadelphia Mississippi. It just felt like every single time that he touched the ball, he was going to the house with it. I think he 1 kick return for a TD against us. Look im not taking anything away from Derrick at all. This dude won a FREAKING Heisman Trophy plus countless more awards. I am actually really happy for him amd the career that he has had in High School and College. And yesterday became one of 8 players to ever rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season. Oh and i almost forgot 1 thing, the man just won his 2nd straight rushing title. Anyway i sure hope everyone has a good year. ✌

I don’t see him doing this in the NFL but hopefully he proves me wrong

i agree but its kinda hard for him to be physical when he can just straight up burn entire teams, He will prob be alot more physical at Alabama since his speed though great won't be as big of a factor as alot of kids in college are fast (especially in the SEC)

This literally looks like a pro playing against a peewee team. My God.

High school coaches offensive playbook: give the ball to Derrick Henry.

Bruh he ain't gotta be trent remember, Trent is a freak of nature. This guy runs a 4.55- 4.7 and he's almost 6-4 250. He moves like Anthony Barr did except Anthony had better speed they say he's gonna back Yeldon up quickly. I think he can run with Lacy if no one else and he can improve on his speed if he drops it to sub 4.5....its a wrap

i wonder if he'll stay at RB though....i mean he could EASILY be a beast at WR too

A man among children.

he most deff did run a 4.3 laser time at the opening in oregon so how do you feel lol the hate is real
