Title: Re: "What drives Alabama RB Derrick Henry? An 'I've got to stay hungry' attitude, former coach says" Post by: Chechem on August 20, 2014, 05:27:23 AM Quote Asked if he felt like he arrived when he ran for 100 yards and caught a 61-yard touchdown pass in Alabama's Sugar Bowl loss to Oklahoma, Henry made his old [high-school] coach proud. "I feel like I still got a lot to prove. I'd say I have a lot to prove," Henry said. "I don't see I've done anything that makes me feel like I've arrived or anything like that. I let my play speak for itself. I just feel like I still got a lot more to prove." ... It's also given him some perspective and appreciation for his present situation, as he's anticipated to split carries with junior T.J. Yeldon and speedy change-of-pace back Kenyan Drake. "I was more nervous (last year) instead of just relaxing and paying attention and just calming down, letting it all come to me," he said. "Now, I'm just comfortable, I feel good, I know what I'm doing. I'm more experienced, so when I'm out there I'm just playing fast and doing what I'm supposed to do." ... Good article about DH, with good insight into his personality. #+ |
