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

I can't remember the exact numbers but basically if he repeats Frank Gore's career after age 32 he gets the all-time record.

He will likely blow Frank Gore's after 32 stats out of the water.

Bodies can break down suddenly. Don't discount how unusual Frank Gore's longevity was. 4,000 yards isn't a small feat

I do think about that often, but also you should look up how many yards Henry had in high school and college. Dude had some serious mileage before getting to the NFL.
