Derrick Henry

ANALYSIS
Henry's announcement to leave a year early doesn't come as a major surprise given his immense workload this season versus the ever present concern of a finite amount of "tread on the tires" for prospective NFL running backs. He smashed SEC records this season with 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns on an astounding 395 carries. Henry is massive for a running back prospect at 6-foot-3, 242 pound, but he showed a surprising amount of burst and agility to complement his physical running style. Durability has not been a concern to this point for Henry after he held up so well to a massive workload that saw him accrue over 100 rushing attempts in a two-game span late in the season, but it could be a question during the draft process after so many carries in 2015. He likely profiles as a second-round pick and many talent evaluators have him ranked behind Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott as the second-best running back in this year's crop.
