I’m not talking ability , just height and weight.

Yes.

Bo was 6'1" 230, so Henry ain't much bigger..

2” and 20 pounds is a pretty big difference...

Not when your as powerful and explosive as Bo was.

Saw AP stop on a dime, put his hand under a DBs arm, toss him like a rag doll out of bounds and keep running..

I also saw Derrick stiff arm Earl Thomas so hard he turned a 180 into a lead blocker for Henry last year in the playoffs.

I found the following:
Jackson 6’1 222 to 227
Henry 6’3 238 to 250
So my op was just about right as far as how much larger Henry was. Now Jackson was in the range of 4.2 to 4.3 in the 40 and Henry was recorded as 4.54 so Jackson had the advantage in speed.

4.2 to 4.3 @ 230lbs is reedonkulous... That's some Captain America sh!t...

Easy now, Bo is in his own class. You’re talking about a multi professional sport all star. I don’t think Henry is hitting a 98 mph sinker 430 ft.

Have you ever seen Henry hit a baseball?

Herschel Walker was very similar in size and maybe was even faster than Jackson. Both are probably the most physically gifted running backs ever. I really cannot make a decision which one was better.

 

[WebbCobb]

If I hear someone comparing Derrick Henry to Bo Jackson, it simply tells me that person did not see Bo Jackson play

I remember watching Bo with the Raiders. There was a game, I cannot remembered against who, but he got the edge and it looked like he just switched gears and left everyone in the dust. Bo was a human cheat code.

 

[DarkAvenger]

Nope, I’m sure if I put it on a tee he could hit a baseball. I also said a 98 mph sinker. Any idiot can hit a baseball off a tee.... but even hitting it with a purpose is still hard for most.

The thing is there are plenty that have never watched Bo play yet they know who he is... that says everything about how special he really was.

When you are comparing Henry to Bo, that means we have a good back. Who cares about the nuance.?!

It’s not a nuance, athletically speaking it’s a no contest. Bo wins... that being said, I don’t think you could create a better RB on Madden than Derrick. He is a perfect blend of old school power and size with new age speed.

So, u still don’t know that he couldn’t

Never saw Bo do that. Not sure if I saw any running back use a stiff arm as emphatically as this play.

 

[Smokeytom]

I bet you I could throw this football over that mountain

Anyone remember the cartoon with Bo, Jordan and Gretzky in the late 80's?
