Derrick Henry

[BigFin]

He needs 4,405 rushing yards to break into the all-time Top 10. He’ll turn 30 in January. This will be his 8th season.

Does he get into the Top 10? Is he a surefire HOF’er when he retires?

If he breaks into the top 10, then yeah, eventually, he'll get in.

 

[Xeliou66]

I think he’ll get in the Hall of Fame - he’s been probably the best rusher in the NFL the last few years.

 

[BigFin]

One potential issue is him stepping away early if he’s not getting remunerated enough. He’s in the final year of his contract. Maybe he ring chases the next few seasons for a few million per year.

 

[ducky]

He’s really already in. He lead the league in both rushing yards and rushing td’s 2 years straight and in one of those won offensive player of the year.

It’s the same type of dominance that got Campbell and Terrell Davis in.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

He's been pretty reliable. He only had one season where he missed 8 games.

I can see him playing another 4-5 years and getting into the top 10.

Top 10 = HOF for sure.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I think he's already going to get in. But if he cracks top 10 then he's 1st ballot.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

he's not in yet... really only has 2 seasons of being the BEST... Titans playing with him early on in his career may ruin his chances...

But it is funny... We are talking about him being a HOFer already, while Zeke Elliot who has had a better career so far, we dont talk about at all...

but definitely, if Henry gets those yards, he will be in the HOF, but that is 3 seasons away at the minimum... and not sure if he has that in the tank, the way he has been used recently... and how injury prone he is becoming now that he is getting old...

he,ll get into the hall of fame.he,s the best back to come out of alabama.

i don't see "1st ballot"..probably 2nd or 3rd.

At his age very possible he doesn't get 4,400 yards....much less another 3k.

 

[fastforward]

If he was to retire prior to the 2023 season I don't think he'd even make the final of a HoF nomination list. He has one 2000 yard season, 2 other very good rushing season totals, and 4 seasons of meh. He needs at least 2 more very good seasons to be in contention.

right!!! he is already 29, turning 30 this NFL season... and he has been one of the most used RBs in the league since he became a starter... some may say over-used...

the one thing you can say, is because he is a bigger back, he can last longer, because he can become a short yardage back/end zone back...

but not sure if he would want to become that...

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Might not be. But based solely on the accolades of some RBs already in the HOF, I'd say he has a pretty good chance at least.

Yeah he’s gonna get into the top 10 barring something weird happening

It could easily be this year with Hopkins now in the fold

The titans look like a legit afcs contender

My guess is he’s try to hang on and win a ring

You can always use a decent short yardage back

Plus 1

We shall see

How do you figure Zeke has the better career? More team wins? Less ypc, 1 less TD, more fumbles, almost even games played (and that's with Henry being started slow early on). Unless you're focusing on receiving I guess?

 

[eaglesnut]

Henry will beast again this year. He's not slowing down. Their passing game was whack last year.

How has it improved this year?
