Derrick Henry 40-yard dash time at NFL Combine was impressive

Derrick Henry weight room

Derrick Henry is one impressive physical specimen, and his numbers posted at the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine attest to that.

Henry ran impressively in his 40-yard dashes at the combine Friday. He clocked in unofficial times of 4.52 and 4.54. He was officially given a time of 4.54.

Keep in mind that Henry is 6-foot-3 and 247 pounds. That kind of speed is ridiculous for a player his size.

Henry’s broad jump was 10-foot-10 inches. He also posted a 37-inch vertical leap. Those are also very strong numbers.

Some people are talking about Henry as if he can only be a power back and clock-killer. I think his speed and overall athleticism, proved by these numbers, show he can do much more.

Ezekiel Elliott might be the better overall back, but Henry will be a very productive NFL running back. And if these combine numbers don’t impress you, wait til you see Henry’s weightlifting numbers.
