Henry rewrote many of the Alabama single-season rushing records on his way to being named the Heisman Trophy winner and capped his historic season by leading the Crimson Tide to a national championship win against Clemson on Monday.
It will be interesting to see how he is evaluated as an NFL prospect, given his amazing combination of size and speed.
