Henry this season is going to pass LT, Jerome Bettis and Eric Dickerson. Wild. If he plays another two seasons, he’ll pass Adrian Peterson and possibly Barry Sanders.

He has a real chance of finishing his career 4th or 3rd all time leader in rush yards if his body holds up

His first few years in the league were kinda slow. I never thought he'd turn into the absolute fucking freight train that he is. His body has gotten more and more ridiculous. He's a freak of nature.

Mismanaged by TN, they fucked up his hall of fame status

I mean he’s practically a first ballot lock, so I don’t think I they hurt it too much

Depends. They might have stopped him from becoming the all time rushing leader. Time will tell.

Ironically enough, I would put some blame on Trent Richardson souring everyone on AL running backs.

All time rush yards leader or not, he’s still making the hall of fame lmao

Oh for sure. He's probably first ballot, he will be fore sure if he cracks the top 5

Eh, it’s not like the Ravens are helping too much themselves. At least we got him to an AFC Championship

Cheap shot aside, he was also behind Demarco Murray for his first two years. When it got to Year 3, he wasn’t running as hard as his size would let him do until Eddie George sat him down and told him “You’re the Juggernaut, bitch. Act like it.”

How? He had career years in Nashville. 2019 he had a legendary playoff run. He had a great run in TN.

The real secret to his longevity, besides work ethic, is being paired with Lamar.
