TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- He’s got the numbers.
He has freakish athleticism and pro potential.
His team is winning, and he’s arguably the biggest reason why.
Derrick Henry has all the ingredients to be a mega-star, yet Alabama’s junior running back remains somewhat under-appreciated, relatively under-the-radar and largely overshadowed this season.
It’s a function of timing. It’s because of Leonard Fournette.
While Henry is a name most college football fans know by now, the run Fournette is on this season has elevated his appeal and goes beyond that of the sport’s usual threshold.
