Source: Bama RB Henry to enter NFL draft

Alabama junior running back Derrick Henry will enter the NFL draft, a source told ESPN on Thursday.

The Heisman Trophy winner rushed for 158 yards and three touchdowns in Alabama's national championship win over Clemson on Monday night. Henry, at 6-foot-3, 242 pounds, ran for 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns this season.

ESPN's Todd McShay has Henry rated as the No. 2 running back in the draft and No. 37 overall. Henry trails only Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott, who has already declared for the draft, in McShay's rankings.
