We all saw what happened last night. In case you missed it, I wrote about it here.

Whenever Derrick Henry does something absurd, his high school stats always resurface on social media.

Derrick Henry’s high school resume was comical:

I don't think I could even put up those numbers in Madden. He looks like a titan (😉) amongst prepubescent boys in the NFL; I can't even fathom what it was like in high school. Imagine being a middle of the pack linebacker from a small high school in Florida. My god. I would've walked off the field mid-game knowing he was getting the ball 40 times.

There's no way his coaches weren't intimidated by him. How the hell do you tell this guy to take a lap? If I were his coach I'd take the laps for him.

The stats above tell the story of his dominance in high school. Saban must have been drooling like a newborn when he realized he had a 6'3, 230 pound version of Mark Ingram joining the program.

To finish, I'll leave his high school highlight tape below if you're interested in witnessing a bunch of children get bulldozed by a MAC truck.
