    I've been pretty open about the fact that I don't think he's a first rounder, but... I do think he could be a good NFL back, not a hall of famer, but better than anyone that we currently have an our roster. I think he could be a good combo with Mariota, if we improve the OL.

    If I remember correctly a lot of Clemsons DL werent even the starters because of injuries. So you have 2nd 3rd maybe 4th stringers shutting Henry down I might be wrong about this. But if thats the case any 3rd string defensive linemen in the nfl would/could be starters in college, thats not good for Henry. He is no Gurley he made things happen at the college level, poor blocking, good blocking it didn't matter. I just don't see anything special about Henry, the analogy of a big Chris Johnson is spot on.

    Shaq Lawson was the only starting DL that was questionable and he played. All of Clemson's DL starter's played.

    I don't follow college football, other than big name athletes, so I don't know how good the DL for Clemson was all season. I was just going on what I saw last night and Henry consistently taken down in the backfield, he couldn't make and defender miss or break tackles.

    Well if he's Chris Johnson during CJ2k times I'll take it. Plus Henry is definitely not going to lay in a fetal position on first contact. CJ doesn't deserve all the hate he gets, if we had him in his prime now with Mariota , look out.

    They were consistently very good. Clemson was 13th overall in yards allowed and 7th in yards per game against. So a decent D. And as far as last night goes, that right tackle was having some serious problems. That's not on Henry, that's on the line. Remember C.J.'s last 2 seasons here? He was being hit in the backfield quite often. Don't use one game as your gauge, look at his entire body of work. He did play a few pretty darn good defenses and rack up some serious numbers... Wisconsin (one of the nation's top defenses), Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, Michigan State, LSU... just saying if he's there in the 2nd and we pass on him it will be a mistake imo.
