Can you imagine Derrick Henry playing football against high schoolers? Well, you don't need your imagination. It just doesn't seem fair.
Coming out of Yulee High School in the northeast corner of Florida, Henry was listed as a 6'3"/240 ATHLETE because some thought he might wind up at linebacker. Actually, many fans (and allegedly some coaches) of other schools tried to convince the future Heisman winner that Nick Saban would move him to the defensive side once he stepped on campus.
