This photo has been circulating, showing just how big Derrick Henry is, standing in front of Jalston Fowler, who is 6'1" and 242 lbs.  Henry makes him look small, although he is only about 2 inches taller -- it looks like he has added some weight since his stats came out.

No. 3 caught senior linebacker C.J. Mosley's eye at Alabama's first practice of the spring.
 It wasn't Trent Richardson, but that's whom Mosley was reminded of when he spotted the Crimson Tide's newest running back, Derrick Henry.
 
"We were talking about it on the sideline, me and a couple of the players, how Henry looked like a bigger version of Trent Richardson," Mosley said Saturday. "

2013 recruit and 5-star Alabama running back commit Derrick Henry is going to be an exceptional player at the college level.

He's 6'3'', 240 pounds and runs a 4.54 40 according to 247Sports. Essentially, Henry is big, strong and fast enough to play outside linebacker in college, and that's why he's ranked as an athlete by 247Sports. In fact, he's the No. 1 ranked athlete according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

That said, if you've ever watched Henry run the ball, you'd know that he's a pure running back and he has what it takes to be one of the greats at the position.

His size and strength allow him to be effective between the tackles, and he runs with a ton of power and forward momentum behind him. He's not afraid to lower his shoulder and break a tackle, and he's always moving his feet. He'll be tough for just one defender to take down—even in the SEC.

Henry is also more than fast enough to run off the edge and break a long play, though, and he'll be able to outrun linebackers and safeties in the second level.

Finally, as if that weren't enough, Henry can be a more than adequate receiver out of the backfield, and if you're feeling very creative, you can motion him out into the slot and he'll be comfortable running routes a receiver.

Should TJ Yeldon go ahead and transfer?

Should TJ Yeldon go ahead and transfer?

NO!

Should TJ Yeldon go ahead and transfer?

Definitely not.  Henry is projected to compete for #2 spot behind Yeldon.  It is some of the other prospects who may be worried, might move to another position like Dee Hart at DB.

Well I know Jalston was big from seeing him next to some of last years players but my, my, Mr. Henry is a sure enough big man. I see it now, Jalston and Derrick on short first downs or goal line together in the backfield and AJ just turn around and hide behind them. wow! 6 points the easy way. RTR!

I think he will play. He's another one, very quick, competing for the No. 2 spot, but they can't keep him off the field.

  No you aren't hscoach. I really loved to watch him run last year behind the 2nd and 3rd teams offense. I thought he ought to be last year but He was just used in mop up. RTR!
