As an Auburn fan, let me just say Derrick Henry is the best player in college football.

I think Henry is a good running back but no where near the best player in the country.

I think Henry is a good running back but no where near the best player in the country. But I think he has the potential. All the physical tools are present. The rest is really up to him. He can be as good as he wants to be.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

He's not real shifty laterally, but he's a hard hitting "long strider".

Can you imagine trying to tackle him in the open field if your a 190-200 lb DB? Better go for the legs. He gets a shoulder into you, you're road kill. And how about Kenyan Drake busting that tackle at the line of scrimmage and then tight roping down the sideline?

I saw one of Wisconsins DT try to tackle Henry in the open field last night. He got plowed for his efforts. He's like a train, runs in a straight line and almost impossible to stop.

Had no trouble picking up the blitzing linebacker. X2 he looked bigger than the LBs he was pushing around He is only 5' tall to the eyebrow. That 16" forehead makes him 6'4. If he can hold on to the ball and stay healthy he will be mentioned in that Heisman BS. Need some more depth behind him. He can't take the pounding every down and Drake doesn't have the power he does. Overall, they looked good though thanks to the offensive line. Everything looked good except the kicker.

He reminds me of Richardson.

I'm not overly I pressed with Henry yet. He has the measurable a and speed but lacks shiftiness and doesn't run with much body lean. Sure, if the offense continues to open holes where he can run untouched he will be just fine.
Drake, appears to be the more versatile running back. I'd feed him the ball 75% of the time if he stays healthy.

Won't have to worry about taking a pounding if he keeps only getting 13 touches for bout 145.. I do believe at some point this season they will lean on him for 25 or so carries and he def needs to stay healthy. Like you said, depth could become an issue, Drake is a multi purpose player lining up in different spots and also returning. The 3rd string guy is un proven.. Def don't wanna start eating through backs.
