Derrick Henry

Ummm, Henry reminds me a lot of Earl Campbell who (for the time) was huge, fast and mostly unstoppable.
Sure, dude was the most violent runner I have ever seen clips of. This guy nicknamed "Sweetness" wasn't too damn bad himself. I was talking more about the taller backs, and no, it doesn't make them better. :D

He is a physical specimen like Earl was but Earl pretty much ran to the hole the play called for and tried to go straight through it regardless of who was there. Earl didn't have a lot of wiggle to his game, probably had a lot to do with his shortened career and his declining effectiveness over that career.

Henry has no hesitancy to try to run people over even multiple people but he also has some vision and given a choice will cut to the open space and run through it.

He is by nature a power back but he does have some elusiveness to his game.
