I've always considered Barry Sanders the best RB I've ever seen play. Granted, he had a shorter career, but the things he did were absolutely unbelievable. I considered Derrick Henry the best RB of the modern age. Tonight something changed though. I know Henry has absolutely destroyed us over the years and it seems like he has been playing forever, but he just seems to get better and better. Tonight, he was awesome. To see a guy that big and powerful with that kind of breakaway speed is ridiculous! IMO, he has just supplanted Barry Sanders as the best RB of all time. 

It's weird. In college, Myles Jack was a 2 way player. He was a linebacker on defense and he played RB on offense. He was an absolute beast at RB. It seemed like he would break at least one long run in every game. He was probably one of the top 3 college RB's I had ever seen play the game. Unfortunately, Jack did not like playing RB and when he was drafted, he was very vocal about wanting to be a linebacker only in the NFL. He was a very good college LB, but he was a phenomenal college RB. Had he played RB in the NFL and been drafted into the right situation, I believe he would have been a superstar like Henry. I wonder if he ever watches Henry and wonders what would have happened if he had stuck to the RB position?

What do you guys think? Is Henry the best ever?
