TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- During almost any other year, Alabama running back Derrick Henry would take a back seat to no one.
More than anything, he’s incredible to watch. At 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, he’s just so much bigger and stronger and faster than what we’re used to seeing from the position. He’s as likely to run over a linebacker as he is to shimmy by him. And when he gets into the open field and picks up a full head of steam, he’s gone.
But he’s productive, too, with 901 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns through seven games.
