Alabama RB Derrick Henry is expected to report to the NFL scouting combine at around 240 pounds and run the 40-yard dash between 4.4 seconds and 4.5 seconds, in the opinion of NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah. He is also expected to record a vertical jump of around 40 inches.
Footballguys View: Henry draws a lot of varying opinions in “Draft Twitter” and fan sites. We think he’s a newer version of former Giants RB Brandon Jacobs. Henry is a tall back who needs some time to build up his power and speed. He could work as a two-down thumper for some team out there, and he’s likely a second-round pick.
