Frank Clark Jersey be safe from Derrick Henry.The former Alabama tailback won the Heisman Trophy in 2015 with a year for the ages, his 2,219 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns establishing single season records in the vaunted Southeastern Conference. And though it was Henry’s lone year as the Crimson Tide’s lead back, he vaulted past former NFL MVP Shaun Alexander to become the school’s all time leading rusher (3,591 yards).Yet those numbers are pedestrian

He ran for a state record 4,261 yards during a senior season that included 55 TDs.USA TODAYNFL draft buzz central: Latest rumblings before first roundBut despite such accomplishments, Henry remains humble and soft spoken.”It was all a blessing, and I had a lot of help with everything I received this year,” he told USA TODAY Sports. “Just staying grounded and focused got me to where I am today.”That approach is probably wise because, despite his impressive resume, Henry is hardly regarded as a slam dunk pro prospect.Among the critiques: At 6 3, 247 pounds, he might be too big and lack the quickness to succeed in the NFL. Henry only had 17 catches in three seasons at Alabama, and his lack of receiving production could limit his value as an every down back. He’s already shouldered a tremendous workload, including 395 carries last year 68 more than NFL leader Adrian Peterson had in 2015 not to mention the mileage he accrued in high school.USA TODAYWhat every AFC team is looking for in the NFL draft”He’s a tall, high cut, long legged back which is atypical, and those backs struggle in the NFL just because there’s a lot more vertical mass to aim at,” said NFL Network chief draft analyst Mike Mayock, who rates Henry behind Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott among this draft’s tailback prospects and regards him as a probable second round pick.
