Funny, Henry went to the same team as Eddie George and Eddie is the one who fixed him and helped him realize his potential. Pretty damn accurate, sport science
It should of been no surprise Derrick Henry was the better back. Man literally carried Bama to an NC and was a large part of the reason why they won it. He was pushing SEC defenses around like they were little boys.
Sebastian Wosinski there was a study that showed that max back squat had a direct and positive correlation to the first 10 yards of acceleration. Henry just squats alot
be 6ft plus and weigh over 200lbs and you're a draft prospect for the nfl. Doesnt take much skill to be recognized by football scouts. Baseball there is no size that can put you above others, its all skill based.
Drew 1998 you know football player have to do this too right and farther in Far less time frame and are still Able throw it 50 yards getting hit lmafo I dare a baseball player to try power through a 280 pound 6 foot 8 tackle
I feel bad for henry since he doesn't have the opportunity to prove himself since he is behind Murray who is arguably a top 5 back at the moment. Ezekiel landed in a good situation, no solid RB starter and a good o-line.
zeke still had to beat alfred morris for cowboys starting spot, and considering morris has the 2nd most yards of any rb over the last 4 years zeke was probably pretty damn good from the start.
And by now, it's obvious that Henry is the better RB. I'm sure Zeke will maybe one day live up to all the overhype he's always had buuut he'll never be as good as Henry. After all, Zeke's shown us that he can have "flashes" of greatness while Henry has already shown his greatness.
@@skiddlybop4381 Henry never got to play for 2 years because he was behind demarco murray so if he was the starting rb right when he got drafted people would've noticed him much earlier
2020 now and there was some really prophetic stuff about Henry here. The Eddie George comparison is even a bit creepy, lol. All hail His Majesty, King Henry. Roll Tide Roll Titan Up!
When I'm listening to how great Derrick Henry is... but all I can think about is how Ezekiel is the number one fantasy back in the league and I'm starting Derrick Henry who averages about 3 points. :(
@@dogeical3733 LOL these hot takes are great... King Henry just did something no other player in the history of the NFL has done. 3 Straight games of 180+ yards and this was against 3 Playoff teams. Number 1 Defense Patriots, Number 1 Offense Ravens, and that other Team Texans lol
This guy thinks Elliott plays like Chris Johnson. Johnson was a twig who could only run away from people while Zeke will just run through and then run away from you
CJ2K sure as hell isn't a twig. Fastest RB since Bo Jackson. Wasn't the toughest or the most elusive, but he was a good player. He was the best offensive player on the Titans which made him a target and his run blockers weren't nearly as good when Mawae retired.
This is actually not true of Henry. Henry is faster than 99% of players over 100 yards -- He doesn't get to his top end speed till 40+ yards. They've examined his stride length and top speed and basically compared to your 'proto' back like Zeke with short legs/stride - Zeke must take 3 steps for Henry's 2 running at an equivalent speed. Given Henry is 245+ lbs of very lean muscle combined with his genetic gift(s) of power/speed/stamina he is able to propel his frame faster the longer the distance traveled. It wouldn't be a MASSIVE difference of 10+ yards but Henry outruns entire defenses due to this. If you watch his film from college you'll see this huge , tall, HB looking relatively slow until he is contrasted with 7 guys chasing him and it's apparent he is outrunning them all. Some guys have pure speed and are genetically gifted beyond even the NFL norm and could still catch Henry. IE: Adoree Jackson is an amazing sprinter short or long and will chase down people. That said, this brings in Henry's strength/size and height which lends itself to making it incredibly tough to tackle and bring down henry one on one as well as given his height his arm length is going to be greater than most any CB/SS/FS etc and Henry is one of the best with the Stiff Arm already. I'm not saying Henry is the fastest guy in the league, not by any measure.. just that his 'top gear' is faster than it looks and faster than most in the NFL.
Also, GuessTech, since you've posted this I'm pretty sure they did an MPH test and Henry came in third behind fournette and one other (name escapes me because alcohol). Derrick Henry posted approx. 21 mph. That's insane for someone of his build in my opinion.
there ain't no way in the world derrick henry accelerates faster than zeke elliott. I just watched elliott outrun braxton miller. and miller is quick as a cat.
BOTH ARE BEAST! U KNOW Y? CUZ HENRY PLAYED AT BEST PROGRAM EVER, U OF ALA FUCKN BAMA! ROLL TIDE! ZEKE PLAYS FOR BEST ORGANIZATION EVER IN THE DALLAS COWBOYS! GREAT TO BE A FANATIC OF BOTH TEAMS RIGHT NOW! ROOLLLLL TIDE ROLL!!! HOW BOUT 'DEM COWBOYS!!!
Alabama, you know. The team that owns Ohio St 3-1. Has 16 titles and is the #1 team in the nation and no one else is on their level of playing. Alabama sadly won't be getting the Suckeyes in the title since Clemson will wreck them before Alabama gets the chance of making them look like Mich St.
Nic Schieber But zeke also has the best offensive line in the NFL. Im not talking about stats im talking about the way they run. Derrick Henry is a speedy marshawn lynch. I see great thing for him in the future
Marcus Salaz y would dismiss the Elliot being better than lunch n future? he can catch, pass block, and run like a maniac. with power and speed. he leads the nfl in yac and rushing yards. did u see the hit he made on k.c. n Seattle during preseason? with all that n mind u must be slow n the head. fuckn cowboys go! ROLL TIDE roll!
Zeke is behind the best O-line in the NFL and Henry is being forced to split time with Murray. Put Henry behind that same O-line and Henry would be doing the same.
@@kostz_fort4718 LOL so you have seen the error of your ways. Bow and kiss the ring of your King as King Henry is just and sometimes merciful. All Hail 2K King Henry 👑
If Derek Henry accelerates quicker, then why when Elliot, Henry, and Leveon bell are put in a simulcast in the 40, Elliot is about 2 yards in front of Henry at the 20 yard line??? Makes no sense
this guy obviously knows nothing. henry is quicker cause of his acceleration but when it comes to a race zek would win. it's like a Kawasaki ninja racing a habusua. ninja is quicker of the line but the busa will catch up and win.
David Stopithurts then why is Elliot ahead of Henry 20 yards into the 40 yard dash? Look at the video. Trust me I sprint for a living, Elliot has a better acceleration and top end speed than Henry no doubt.
