Derrick Henry ran for over 4000 yards as a senior in high school. The average “fairly athletic” person wasn’t tackling him when he was a teenager, let alone now when he’s a grown ass man lol.
You should look up "The Scallenge", NBA basketball player did it with some amateur players and he dusted them. He was getting roaster for being a player that mostly road the bench and how a good drop in player could beat him.
6'3" 200 - he would anticipate what I would do, because his brain has seen 1000s of guys with 10x my athleticism try millions of moves, and he would instantly adjust, because he is an elite athlete, and counter me 10/10 times. 100 is a weird number, because in theory, I could iterate, but in practice, I'd be exhausted, and he wouldn't, so if I didn't tackle him in my first 10 attempts, no way I'm getting him down in my next 90 tries, when I'm winded and he's just warming up. My best chance would be around reps 90-100, when I'm exhausted, and he's bored. Maybe, just maybe, I could find a little adrenaline, and take advantage of he slips a little or telegraphs his plan, because he doesn't care anymore. But he probably recovers and stiff-arms me into the ground, because he's Derrick Henry, and I'm just a dude who hasn't tackled anyone in like 20 years.
Seriously. When I was in high school I was 6'2 205 lbs and very athletic and I played against Reggie Bush. I was a DE and LB and when I tackled him there was a toll to pay on your body. I couldn't imagine trying to tackle a man like Henry. He's huge and very strong. Like.. were fairly large guys and Henry makes us look like kids. And he's a beast. I would be happy if I could tackle him 10% of the time. I'd feel like a badass. I'd be surprised if I could tackle him half that much lol.
Also, I think people who never played football don't really understand how powerful these NFL guys are. It's not just that Derrick Henry is almost 250 lbs. It's also that he's moving that weight roughly 4.5 seconds over 40 yards. It's the speed plus the size that equates to incredible power. The guy is a freight/bullet train.
That part. 250 with a force multiplier of 21mph. Even though in an Oklahoma drill you would never get up to top speed, but even him at 12 or 15mph is a load.
Precisely. Force is mass times acceleration. Throw in the fact that his stiff arm is like being hit by a 12 gauge slug, and you're quitting life after trying to tackle him one time.
Bro I’m 6’ 230lbs and just got done playing D3 college football at outside linebacker where I started for 2 years and if I could tackle Derrick Henry 5 times I’d be happy. Not a chance an average 170lb dude doing this
Regardless the person would be trucked through every time. So it’s a loss in that sense lol. But if someone just dove at his knees every time and stopped him short of the 10 yards. I can kinda see it.
My buddy played Safety for one of the community colleges that played Coffeeville every year. He said that trying to tackle Brandon Jacobs by hitting his thigh/knee was MORE painful than trying to tackle him up high. He said it was like hitting a concrete pillar that was coming at your face.
My freshman year I practiced against a guy who played DL at San Jose state and we tried squaring up.... Bad idea. Then we tried going low on him in practice and you are exactly right. When his knees came up and hit you it felt like being in a car wreck. Then we started diving at ankles. Much safer and we figured out he went down IF he tripped on us. We made an economical decision.
@@trackcoachmacIn high school our rival was Jesuit(Portland, OR) they had Owen Marecic(6'1 250) runningback played in the NFL for a few years...I was a sophomore and we had a freshman swinging up...Owen broke through the line and the freshman safety went up to tackle him and I was taking the angle from cornerback....I thought I saw a murder happen...Owen stiff armed the freshman and pretty much had him on all 4's and when he ran by him he used his knee and smacked the shit out of the side of his helmet and he went out COLD....I'll never forget that because I was right there and could of tried to tackle him but as soon as I saw that I just dove at the ground hoping I'd trip him up lol
Played DB for a varsity summer league and played against Luke Willson every year (former Seattle Seahawks TE) . Did not enjoy trying to tackle him but I got the job done at 5'9 175 lbs. Give me a 100 shots and I'll get Henry once... maybe....probably not.
I saw Derrick Henry on Broadway and thought it was a Defensive End he was bigger than the biggest security guard. I gained a whole new respect for anyone who has brought him down.
Basically you will get absolutely flattened out and destroyed I would say personally I would only do it 1/100 times that one time is cause he slipped on the turf
Im 6'6 240lb and even I'd be absolutely thrilled at getting even 5 tackles on Derrick Henry. Like people talk shoestring but honestly in an Oklahoma drill where he isnt in open field sprint, he could drag you in on one foot. Henry regularly drags people on his back when they are under 280lbs
6'1 190 here. If you're never played against pro athletes it's impossible to truly appreciate how different they are. And I'm talking just rotational no name guys. I played basketball against 2 active NFL DEs in my early 20s. I had to guard one of them at all times until i was like we're playing zone, F this 😂 It was the only time in my life i was actually scared on a court. I didn't want the game to start and i couldn't wait for it to end. The size/speed/strength/power/explosiveness was absolutely terrifying and the refs had a real loose whistle on top of it all.
Yeah, I am a pretty good hockey player (played in d3 in college) and have played with former ECHL (basically a third tier league) guys in beer league. It is amazing how much faster and harder shooting they were than any of us non-pros on the ice. Not even close.
Yeah, it's like the fact that the worst player in the NBA is better than 99.9999999% of people, and would absolutely dominate any level of recreational ball. NFL is a bit different with so many different body types and positions and players, but it's the same shit. These are the best of the best, no average Joe has any shot. That said, he could always trip or something, so 1/100 isn't too impossible.
Yeah, its truly hillarious how out of touch most people are on this subject. The worst guy in the NFL/NBA/MLB was still probaly the best guy in his STATE when he was in highschool. Pick literally any player from any sport and go read their Wikipedia page. All of them were like all state im multiple sports. This dude probably got cut in highschool 😂
It’s like the Red Mamba said, “I am way closer to Lebron, than you are to me.” People don’t understand how good even the “worst” professional athlete is.
The explosive force generated by a giant super athlete like Henry is so out of the realm of what a normal guy could handle. Unless Henry stiff armed him and proceeded to trip on him, he's getting a goose egg. The guy wouldn't even be able to react quick enough to go for the legs.
I'm with Jason on this one - If the attempts are run consecutively, there is 0% chance an average guy could tackle him once. Imagine how the first 5 to 10 attempts are going to go... If you slip up once and met him in the hole, it could be the end of your life.
I think your odds go up with more reps. In ten tries the average person has just about not shot, but 100 times? He might cheat a rep, trip up, or just be tired and fall over a few times. He’s still a human being, a hundred reps of that drill is insane. So if you can just stand up 100 times, you’ll get one or two freebies.
I think it depends what the goal is. If it’s traditional Oklahoma drill, where Henry wins by crossing the line at all, I think your average person fails at getting him even once. But if we modify it to he has to cross the line standing, then I think your average athletic person can stop him 1/20 attempts (5/100) by diving at his ankles and tripping him up. The big thing about this that makes it possible is that injuries are turned off, so you’re really just trying to turn your body into a tripping missile, and on a narrow lane, you’re gonna succeed at that trip on occasion.
@rickyrobby8133 naw... remember what Jason said about demoralizing effect. Henry embarrasses top level NFL pros on the regular. No way someone more than 75lbs lighter & not at the NFL level is going to have a chance. Henry will embarrass him 5 to 10 times and he won't have the heat to continue
@@titansbm28 norm was listed at 200, there aren't many guys in the league under 195 anymore. Like the kid from bama that plays wr for the eagles is listed a 170 and he looks anorexic in the league.

@@motorboater1020 that show def needs to see and write down that list I just made lol, they'd break records with the numbers of people watching that event/show Live and then the downloads etc to rewatch it the next day haha
Tried to tackle Jason Gwaltney in High School practice once (Former WVU RB who should have made the show). Similar build to Henry. I emphasize ONCE because I never got in his way again.
I met Derrick at The Tin Roof in Nashville. I’m 5’6 187lbs and he made me look like I was someone’s lost little brother in the bar. I’d say, based on a little bit of luck, a miracle from the good Lord and if he’s feeling “tired”….1
Reminds me of my freshman year scrimmaging varsity. They gave the left tackle (who ended up playing 4 years at UT) the ball up the middle. It was like the sea parted and my 130lb self had to take down his 315. I got him down, but damn I got flattened. Only time in four years the coach let me take a break.
I think alot of people forget that players like Derrick Henry are a special kind of genetic freak of a human being. I'm 5'10 250lbs athletic and I might get him once if im lucky. I work in Nashville and I've seen him and he's a real freak athlete. Makes grown men look like kids.
D Henry stiffed armed grown, built, fast, athletic professional athletes into the ground -- INTO the ground -- and these men's sole purpose is to lay the hurtin' on WRs and RBs. At 5'7 150lbs, I have ZERO chance of taking down D Henry. ZERO. What's less than zero? Yeah, that's me.
Nice description @nightbladexxx He did a 99 yard run down the sideline. Never breaking his stride or running motion all the while running over the defense and stiffarming anybody that got in his way. My dad saw Jim Brown in his heyday just punish people with his runs. Derrick Henry is an ENT come to life. 😃
This is up there with the people saying they could fight a Grizzly bear and win. When I was a junior in HS, there was BEAST running back that got a full ride to University of Michigan. I was a 6' 240 nose tackle, all regional, and I still remember how hard he hit and how hard it was to bring him down. He ran me over numerous times, and he didn't go pro after college. By that scale, I could only imagine the power gap from avg joe to Derrick Henry
I’m loving the if injuries are turned off bit 😂 . I am picturing what this guys life would be like once they were turned on. I think I would probably shit myself lining up for an Oklahoma drill across from Derek Henry. I’m 6’1 and 220. Oklahoma drill Derek Henry is nightmare fuel.
If it's any kind of hypothetical question involving me against literally any NFL player, I'm just gonna swallow my pride and say no chance. I feel like multiple times per game I see hits that would break me or cause permanent harm.
I'm 5'11 and 270 (very much so ballooned since hs when I was 182) Derek Henry now I feel like my only chance is having some weight on him but dude is pure muscle so he will probably deposit me into a grave on the field. I do think if we sent 25 5th graders at him they could tackle him
I agree in space there is absolutely no chance. In the confined space of an Oklahoma Drill you have to pray that he stiff arms you so hard that he trips over your flailing corpse. Other than that no shot. Even fatigue being a factor, he isn’t going to get tired faster than you and certainly not tired enough to not destroy you. You have to hope he loses interest, gets lackluster and trips over you.
I saw Mike Hilton whose 5'9 tackle Henry behind the line of scrimmage multiple times. He's the only smart person to tackle him, he just goes for the ankles.
Henry can do 60-80 drills before he gets tired. The dude is dead after 10 tries, Henry would dry him out in that scenario. 0/100 because he’d be exhausted after 10 tries
They had that roided up man Bill Romanowski, Kevin Greene and Herschel Walker and I remember every since contestant either getting tackled into the shadow realm or trucked into it.
They should do a tier list of types of players (wr, rb, qb etc). I know people could disagree but I feel like it would be great to see there thought processes. Plus we could make our own and send it to them
As a 160 pound ex-Rugby player I can say that technique in tackling is important. Take Jonah Lomu for example, he played against smaller guys his entire career and he was tackled plenty of times by smaller guys. Also seen people get run over and even get out of the way so it's courage and technique. One on one is tough, if not impossible but in a game, in the trenches you don't care how big they are. You also rarely tackle alone in a Rugby match, same in NFL, the second guy is never far away.
@@AD-df5tm For an average person you're right, but technique is still important. Lomu was 120KG (265lbs) and was also one of the fastest players in the world. Many many times he ran people over, but there's also plenty of times he got tackled by a scrum half (smallest position on the pitch). Peter Stringer got him a few times and that guy was 75KG (165lbs) max. There's videos of this on YT. If you aren't trying to knock the other guy backwards then weight matters a lot less.
@@thomasbrown8462 I dont think most NFL fans will ever give rugby players their fair due but Lomu really was a different animal. He ran the 100 in 11 seconds flat - which is faster than Henry. So he's an inch taller, 20 lbs heavier AND faster.
@@JoeHardacre its apples to oranges. lomu was a fucking beast. and tackling a rugby player that size in open field is tough too. but in rugby you are built for endurance rather than burst. nfl players are about burst size/speed/athleticism. its just a totally different beast. if henry was a rugby player he'd be bigger than jonah, who was bigger than most forwards, and faster than jonah, who was faster than all wings, and more agile than anything theyd ever seen. but he couldnt just run like that for 60 minutes (let alone 80). in rugby also you almost never tackle solo, you almost always have help. there's no equiv to an oklahoma. in an oklahoma drill there isnt a rugby player out there who would take henry more than 10 times out of 100 in an oklahoma drill. its just totally different size/skill sets. like PSDT/Cane/Savea/Etzibeth etc? they arent doing it. they either arent nearly big enough, arent nearly fast enough, or neither
I am a huge fan of football, I played lacrosse in college I'm fairly athletic. I absolutely HATE when someone watches a game and says "I could do that" with any amount of seriousness. Brother at 5"10 170 with no football knowledge and being this naïve you'd be lucky to survive 5 Oklahoma drills with Henry, nevermind win 5 out of 100. And I know he said injury not withstanding, I'm not talking injury I'm talking death.
The only chance the average person has is to leg tackle and with how Henry is built it’s gonna be tough. I think 5-10 times is about right though. After the 10-15th try eventually the average person would make the right adjustments
Not in an Oklahoma drill, but there’s a 1/100 i could get a shoestring. But I’m really not trying to take a knee to the dome from Derrick Henry. Is it possible? Maybe. Is it worth the damage you’d take? Not a shot.
People say “go for the knees” but at 170 lbs… he could step THROUGH YOU ! You wouldn’t be strong enough to stop his legs … he squats like 600 lbs or something crazy like that …
They better have good health insurance, a designated driver & the emergency room on standby lol ... 6ft4 250lbs running and moving as fast as he does/can if you're a average guy even an athlete average guy thats a guaranteed concussion and probably broken arm, collar bone, dislocated shoulder or all of the above.
I was NFL bound until them Sebring Lightning bolt boys took out my knees in the Heartland Championship game of the 7th grade Junior high school round of 64 in 1997. Them good ole days as the running back for them Hardee Junior High Wildcats.
I played football in CenTex in the mid 00's. There were two people who I was so damn glad I never had to play, Adrian Peterson and Jorvorskie Lane! They were literally NFL ready in high school. Smh
Pros vs Joes. Kordell Stewart rocked the Joe trying to run in the end zone. It was brutal. If a quarterback could do that, imagine what Derrick Henry would do to you running full speed. I would absolutely love to see it though.
I was all state Free safety in California twenty some years ago....and I didn't want to play safety in college thinking about tavkling guys like Ron Dane, lol.... getting a guy to trip over you isn't the same as tackling someone lol...
As a 6'1 290 guy in his 4th season of American football in Germany (low leagues) and having 1 year of high school football in the us, I think I would probably get 7 out of 100 in the 5 yard space. When he gets 10 yards it's 0. Edit: I only played defensive tackle or nose unless I had to play both ways so I think I have some experience tackling
I was lucky enough to be a pretty gifted athlete at a high school with an amazing program where we won championships. I played starting Defensive End/Tackle on the weak side typically cuz I was a good pass rusher, Kickoff R1 Wedge Buster, Kick Return Wedge and Punt Team Protector, so I love hitting shit and getting hit. I am 6'2" 215 lbs currently so an average dude although who knows how to play the game.of football. Plus the violence of the game is what I loves most about it..... First of all I'm not going to get off the ground in time before Derrick Henry is on my ass like a fuckin Semi flying downhill with no breaks, but let's just say that I do get up in time..... My best guess as to the result would be me waking up in the hospital 24 hours later with no recollection of the past couple days.... So we're talkin an average man in terms of just your dude off the street who's never played a sport and maybe is 6 ft 170..... I mean it's unlikely but death is not out of the question... I'm sure they won't be living the same life they did prior to that...
In highschool I was all conference in track. I started at linebacker at 170 lbs. We had an all area RB who later set records at a D2 school. He weighed 200. People don't understand the levels of power, strength, burst. It goes beyond the initial impact. Their legs never stop driving. Their knees are baseball bats. I can't imagine tackling a D1 back. NFL? An all-time great NFL power back? Your odds of breaking 5 bones is much higher than tackling him 5 times.
You'd need perfect tackling technique as a somewhat athletic built person to stand a chance. I remember in high school we had a 3x state champion wrestler join the team as a senior having never played football. One of his first practices he put on a clinic and showed up every person on the defense with his tackling form. He was maybe 170lb but I remember in Oklahoma drills nobody could beat him even the 210 lb all state RB.
The only person I think I have seen take on Henry head to head in a short space and "win" convincingly was Robert Spillane. And I used the " " around win because while he dropped Henry 1 on 1 at the goalline... Spillane was injured on the play and had to come out of the game. It looked painful.
I’m 196 with run specific training I could probably drop my 40 close to 5 seconds because that’s about where it was in HS and I’ve grappled at a pretty high level for 15 years give or take…. I could not tackle Derrick Henry as many times as this man thinks he probably could 🤣

As a 6"2 210 athletic guy I can proudly say I'd tackle him 0/10. You're nuts if you think you're taking down a healthy Derrick Henry heads-up 😂
6'3" 200 - he would anticipate what I would do, because his brain has seen 1000s of guys with 10x my athleticism try millions of moves, and he would instantly adjust, because he is an elite athlete, and counter me 10/10 times. 100 is a weird number, because in theory, I could iterate, but in practice, I'd be exhausted, and he wouldn't, so if I didn't tackle him in my first 10 attempts, no way I'm getting him down in my next 90 tries, when I'm winded and he's just warming up.

I played HS football at 190 pounds and our running back was 205 pounds and he absolutely killed me
The explosive force generated by a giant super athlete like Henry is so out of the realm of what a normal guy could handle. Unless Henry stiff armed him and proceeded to trip on him, he's getting a goose egg. The guy wouldn't even be able to react quick enough to go for the legs.
Maybe on try 67, Henry gets bored of steamrolling the guy and tries doing silly things and falls over trying to do a triple spin
I'm with Jason on this one - If the attempts are run consecutively, there is 0% chance an average guy could tackle him once. Imagine how the first 5 to 10 attempts are going to go... If you slip up once and met him in the hole, it could be the end of your life.
I'd give it 5 attempts and he'd be tapping out like a little bitch
He'd probably quit the challenge after seeing Henry in person to be honest
I think your odds go up with more reps. In ten tries the average person has just about not shot, but 100 times? He might cheat a rep, trip up, or just be tired and fall over a few times. He’s still a human being, a hundred reps of that drill is insane. So if you can just stand up 100 times, you’ll get one or two freebies.
I think it depends what the goal is. If it’s traditional Oklahoma drill, where Henry wins by crossing the line at all, I think your average person fails at getting him even once. But if we modify it to he has to cross the line standing, then I think your average athletic person can stop him 1/20 attempts (5/100) by diving at his ankles and tripping him up.
The big thing about this that makes it possible is that injuries are turned off, so you’re really just trying to turn your body into a tripping missile, and on a narrow lane, you’re gonna succeed at that trip on occasion.
@rickyrobby8133 naw... remember what Jason said about demoralizing effect. Henry embarrasses top level NFL pros on the regular. No way someone more than 75lbs lighter & not at the NFL level is going to have a chance. Henry will embarrass him 5 to 10 times and he won't have the heat to continue
It would be like that scene from The Blind Side when he got walked to the bus
Earl Thomas has 30 pounds on this dude and he was used as Derrick Henry’s lead blocker 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 30 pounds and a lifetime of muscle memory from tackling. And he STILL got used as a mop. The 170 pound dude would get destroyed.
@@rayontita1912 lmao
Josh Norman was literally thrown and is about that guys wieght and height
@@titansbm28 norm was listed at 200, there aren't many guys in the league under 195 anymore. Like the kid from bama that plays wr for the eagles is listed a 170 and he looks anorexic in the league.
I feel Travis laughing at this, I feel you hermano 😂😂😂 ain't no way a common dude is tackling the king 5 times outta hundred.... NO WAY! 🤣
Great question🤣🤣
Is there another Derrick Henry he knows that the rest of the world doesn’t ? 😂😂😂
I would pay to see a buncha normal average civilians line up and try that though lmfao
UA-cam Joes vs Pros. lol it happens on there. Its an old show.
@@motorboater1020 LMAO, I'd pay to get that show going again! Average civilian having to tackle head on DERRICK HENRY on the football field, ANTHONY JOSHUA, DEONTAY WILDER & TYSON FURY 3-5 piece combo in a boxing ring. JON JONES in an octagon taking a punch, kick & elbow combination. ALEX PEREIRA pinning you upright against cage & throwing a 2 punch combo followed by elbows & then a knee / kick combo to the liver/kidney's on one side. Lastly a civilian laying out in front of/taking a slap shot to the stomach/chest/sternum from ZDENO CHARAS 108.8 mph slap shot lol 🤦♂️👍😂.
@@motorboater1020 that show def needs to see and write down that list I just made lol, they'd break records with the numbers of people watching that event/show Live and then the downloads etc to rewatch it the next day haha
Henry would be charged with murder on all counts 😂
Funny thing is normal people would pay to try and get beaten down
2:41 😂 "...demoralization isn't turned off"
Tried to tackle Jason Gwaltney in High School practice once (Former WVU RB who should have made the show). Similar build to Henry. I emphasize ONCE because I never got in his way again.
Smart man 🫡
I met Derrick at The Tin Roof in Nashville. I’m 5’6 187lbs and he made me look like I was someone’s lost little brother in the bar. I’d say, based on a little bit of luck, a miracle from the good Lord and if he’s feeling “tired”….1
yea that's my height. i would have to hurt his feelings with verbal jabs to get him down LOL
@@bryansans2564what's funny is that Henry wouldn't say anything back, the complete opposite of a diva at his position
Well you are a very small human...5'6 , good lord.
Most humans are under that height, genius.@@2011hwalker
How tall are u @@2011hwalker
Reminds me of my freshman year scrimmaging varsity. They gave the left tackle (who ended up playing 4 years at UT) the ball up the middle. It was like the sea parted and my 130lb self had to take down his 315. I got him down, but damn I got flattened. Only time in four years the coach let me take a break.
I really love how they took the question so seriously and really broke it down in every possible scenario. Lol
Ya, Jason wasn’t even smiling when he was breaking it down. He seriously looked at the science of a 170lb dude taking out Derek Henry.
Bro this is a perfect guy convo, like a bunch of guys could debate this for days
Love the pink hair, Jason. So funny when Wyatt told Travis he couldn't wear the pink hair, only Daddy could!
I think alot of people forget that players like Derrick Henry are a special kind of genetic freak of a human being. I'm 5'10 250lbs athletic and I might get him once if im lucky. I work in Nashville and I've seen him and he's a real freak athlete. Makes grown men look like kids.
D Henry stiffed armed grown, built, fast, athletic professional athletes into the ground -- INTO the ground -- and these men's sole purpose is to lay the hurtin' on WRs and RBs.
At 5'7 150lbs, I have ZERO chance of taking down D Henry. ZERO. What's less than zero? Yeah, that's me.
Nice description @nightbladexxx
He did a 99 yard run down the sideline.
Never breaking his stride or running motion all the while running over the defense and stiffarming anybody that got in his way. My dad saw Jim Brown in his heyday just punish people with his runs. Derrick Henry is an ENT come to life. 😃
Maybe I could tackle Derrick Henry twice in a hundred tries, provided he trips over my lifeless body after flattening me on the first attempt
I'm just praying he chooses to stiff arm me out of the way. I *might* walk away from that with only bruises. (if he squares up....... ☠)
Lmao
This is up there with the people saying they could fight a Grizzly bear and win.
When I was a junior in HS, there was BEAST running back that got a full ride to University of Michigan. I was a 6' 240 nose tackle, all regional, and I still remember how hard he hit and how hard it was to bring him down. He ran me over numerous times, and he didn't go pro after college. By that scale, I could only imagine the power gap from avg joe to Derrick Henry
NEW HEIGHTS is the 🐐🐐🐐
There is a few people who can do that with Henry, but they All play in the NFL so good luck bro!!!!!
And probably with help too
Travis said "Yeah, no!" 😂
I’ll say this I played simple backyard football with a D2 RB and legitimately felt like I broke my shoulder trying to tackle him which I failed at.
Hitting someone that big feels exactly like travis said....like all bones in your body just got shaken together 😂
I’m loving the if injuries are turned off bit 😂 . I am picturing what this guys life would be like once they were turned on. I think I would probably shit myself lining up for an Oklahoma drill across from Derek Henry. I’m 6’1 and 220. Oklahoma drill Derek Henry is nightmare fuel.
If it's any kind of hypothetical question involving me against literally any NFL player, I'm just gonna swallow my pride and say no chance.
I feel like multiple times per game I see hits that would break me or cause permanent harm.
When Jason said "demoralization isn't off." I lost it 😭😭😭
I'm 5'11 and 270 (very much so ballooned since hs when I was 182) Derek Henry now I feel like my only chance is having some weight on him but dude is pure muscle so he will probably deposit me into a grave on the field. I do think if we sent 25 5th graders at him they could tackle him
Nah that is to few, MAYBE 50 maybe
I agree in space there is absolutely no chance. In the confined space of an Oklahoma Drill you have to pray that he stiff arms you so hard that he trips over your flailing corpse. Other than that no shot. Even fatigue being a factor, he isn’t going to get tired faster than you and certainly not tired enough to not destroy you. You have to hope he loses interest, gets lackluster and trips over you.
I saw Mike Hilton whose 5'9 tackle Henry behind the line of scrimmage multiple times. He's the only smart person to tackle him, he just goes for the ankles.
Nick Bolton..
Situation is completely different. Behind the line Henry doesnt get to be already running down hill like the Oklahoma drill where his strength is.
Henry can do 60-80 drills before he gets tired. The dude is dead after 10 tries, Henry would dry him out in that scenario.
0/100 because he’d be exhausted after 10 tries
They should make this into a show where regular people go one on one with NFL stars. That way we can show what really happens.
Pros vs joes was already a thing. Ex nba player brian scalabrine did it as well with college basketball players.
They had that roided up man Bill Romanowski, Kevin Greene and Herschel Walker and I remember every since contestant either getting tackled into the shadow realm or trucked into it.
Im picturing the little Chicken hawk knawing at Foghorn Leghorns shin. 🐓
Hmm, after the 1st hit, then 1st "snot bubble" that kid would by crying for mommy! 😢
Under 200lbs, not an Olympic sprinter, you have ZERO shot. Henry is a different species
0% Chance. Unless Derrick allows him to tackle him lol
paul is that little guy at the bar that always wants to fight the bigest guy. for sure!
They should do a tier list of types of players (wr, rb, qb etc). I know people could disagree but I feel like it would be great to see there thought processes. Plus we could make our own and send it to them
How many times in Henry's career have you seen a corner take him down 1vs1 ? It's like a single wolf trying to take down a grizzly.
As a 160 pound ex-Rugby player I can say that technique in tackling is important. Take Jonah Lomu for example, he played against smaller guys his entire career and he was tackled plenty of times by smaller guys. Also seen people get run over and even get out of the way so it's courage and technique. One on one is tough, if not impossible but in a game, in the trenches you don't care how big they are. You also rarely tackle alone in a Rugby match, same in NFL, the second guy is never far away.
No offence but at 160lbs, Derrick Henry would hospitalize you no matter what your technique is 😂
No magical technique is getting Henry lol
@@AD-df5tm For an average person you're right, but technique is still important. Lomu was 120KG (265lbs) and was also one of the fastest players in the world. Many many times he ran people over, but there's also plenty of times he got tackled by a scrum half (smallest position on the pitch). Peter Stringer got him a few times and that guy was 75KG (165lbs) max. There's videos of this on YT. If you aren't trying to knock the other guy backwards then weight matters a lot less.
@@thomasbrown8462 I dont think most NFL fans will ever give rugby players their fair due but Lomu really was a different animal. He ran the 100 in 11 seconds flat - which is faster than Henry. So he's an inch taller, 20 lbs heavier AND faster.
@@JoeHardacre its apples to oranges. lomu was a fucking beast. and tackling a rugby player that size in open field is tough too. but in rugby you are built for endurance rather than burst. nfl players are about burst size/speed/athleticism. its just a totally different beast. if henry was a rugby player he'd be bigger than jonah, who was bigger than most forwards, and faster than jonah, who was faster than all wings, and more agile than anything theyd ever seen. but he couldnt just run like that for 60 minutes (let alone 80). in rugby also you almost never tackle solo, you almost always have help. there's no equiv to an oklahoma. in an oklahoma drill there isnt a rugby player out there who would take henry more than 10 times out of 100 in an oklahoma drill. its just totally different size/skill sets. like PSDT/Cane/Savea/Etzibeth etc? they arent doing it. they either arent nearly big enough, arent nearly fast enough, or neither
I am a huge fan of football, I played lacrosse in college I'm fairly athletic. I absolutely HATE when someone watches a game and says "I could do that" with any amount of seriousness.
Brother at 5"10 170 with no football knowledge and being this naïve you'd be lucky to survive 5 Oklahoma drills with Henry, nevermind win 5 out of 100. And I know he said injury not withstanding, I'm not talking injury I'm talking death.
The only chance the average person has is to leg tackle and with how Henry is built it’s gonna be tough. I think 5-10 times is about right though. After the 10-15th try eventually the average person would make the right adjustments
The adjustment is to get out of the way and let that freight train move right along.
Bro after 10 Oklahoma drills with Derrick Henry, you'll be lucky to be standing on your own power 🤣
It depends if pain is part of injury. An average man takes one hit from DH, and they'll be out for the week, let alone 99 more reps.
Not in an Oklahoma drill, but there’s a 1/100 i could get a shoestring. But I’m really not trying to take a knee to the dome from Derrick Henry. Is it possible? Maybe. Is it worth the damage you’d take? Not a shot.
Not a chance... No offense, but DH is an absolute beast. One of the most incredible men to ever walk this earth.
People say “go for the knees” but at 170 lbs… he could step THROUGH YOU ! You wouldn’t be strong enough to stop his legs … he squats like 600 lbs or something crazy like that …
They better have good health insurance, a designated driver & the emergency room on standby lol ... 6ft4 250lbs running and moving as fast as he does/can if you're a average guy even an athlete average guy thats a guaranteed concussion and probably broken arm, collar bone, dislocated shoulder or all of the above.
I was NFL bound until them Sebring Lightning bolt boys took out my knees in the Heartland Championship game of the 7th grade Junior high school round of 64 in 1997. Them good ole days as the running back for them Hardee Junior High Wildcats.
I’m 6’0 even, 175. 200 at my heaviest and this sounds crazy to me lol unless you trip him, there’s no chance in Hell of getting him down 😂
No shit. The guy wasn't saying he could pick Derrick Henry up and slam him, he is obviously implying that he would launch toward the knee
@@xertz2502 mf how do you know? Lmao he didn’t specify anything, stop dickriding him 🤣
My question would be whether or not I’d die on impact from him trucking me🤣
😂 no chance. Zero out of 100 😅
That guy would same chance as getting into ring with top heavyweights. 100 percent lights out.
I played football in CenTex in the mid 00's. There were two people who I was so damn glad I never had to play, Adrian Peterson and Jorvorskie Lane! They were literally NFL ready in high school. Smh
according to most people commenting they would un-tackable in HS football.
How about the "spiderman grab' and hopefully trip him up(inside OK drill range) could be possible
Injury is turned off. Is death in play? This dude will get steamrolled on the first try.
Just put on a D. Henry highlight reel and I ran away from my computer. No f'in way.
Pros vs Joes. Kordell Stewart rocked the Joe trying to run in the end zone. It was brutal. If a quarterback could do that, imagine what Derrick Henry would do to you running full speed. I would absolutely love to see it though.
Size doesnt matter rey mysterio dropped the big show
I think these are my favorite types of questions.
Thank god we will never find out, cause the hospital bills would be tremendous.
Tackling Derrick Henry would be like taking a Mike Tyson punch. As soon as you feel the air from the punch, you go down!
I want to know what number of times Travis and Jason think they could get Henry in the Ok drill
this is the funniest shit i've seen in a while.. great stuff
I was all state Free safety in California twenty some years ago....and I didn't want to play safety in college thinking about tavkling guys like Ron Dane, lol.... getting a guy to trip over you isn't the same as tackling someone lol...
0:25 lmao I was 225 at 5’10 in college ball and out of 100 times I’d tackle Derrick Henry zero times. 😂😂😂 ppl are funny
As a 6'1 290 guy in his 4th season of American football in Germany (low leagues) and having 1 year of high school football in the us, I think I would probably get 7 out of 100 in the 5 yard space. When he gets 10 yards it's 0.
Edit: I only played defensive tackle or nose unless I had to play both ways so I think I have some experience tackling
Anyone remember the show Pros vs Joes?
That was a big time reality check show
Miss that show
If Derrick Henry chose to walk through the Oklahoma drill he'd eliminate pretty much any chance of getting tripped up.
I watched the whole video, and I NEVER got over the hair.
I was lucky enough to be a pretty gifted athlete at a high school with an amazing program where we won championships. I played starting Defensive End/Tackle on the weak side typically cuz I was a good pass rusher, Kickoff R1 Wedge Buster, Kick Return Wedge and Punt Team Protector, so I love hitting shit and getting hit. I am 6'2" 215 lbs currently so an average dude although who knows how to play the game.of football. Plus the violence of the game is what I loves most about it.....
First of all I'm not going to get off the ground in time before Derrick Henry is on my ass like a fuckin Semi flying downhill with no breaks, but let's just say that I do get up in time.....
My best guess as to the result would be me waking up in the hospital 24 hours later with no recollection of the past couple days....
So we're talkin an average man in terms of just your dude off the street who's never played a sport and maybe is 6 ft 170..... I mean it's unlikely but death is not out of the question... I'm sure they won't be living the same life they did prior to that...
In highschool I was all conference in track. I started at linebacker at 170 lbs. We had an all area RB who later set records at a D2 school. He weighed 200. People don't understand the levels of power, strength, burst. It goes beyond the initial impact. Their legs never stop driving. Their knees are baseball bats. I can't imagine tackling a D1 back. NFL? An all-time great NFL power back? Your odds of breaking 5 bones is much higher than tackling him 5 times.
After the first rep, I'm gonna wait for the stretcher😂😂😂
You'd need perfect tackling technique as a somewhat athletic built person to stand a chance. I remember in high school we had a 3x state champion wrestler join the team as a senior having never played football. One of his first practices he put on a clinic and showed up every person on the defense with his tackling form. He was maybe 170lb but I remember in Oklahoma drills nobody could beat him even the 210 lb all state RB.
This is the content i want to see
The only person I think I have seen take on Henry head to head in a short space and "win" convincingly was Robert Spillane. And I used the " " around win because while he dropped Henry 1 on 1 at the goalline... Spillane was injured on the play and had to come out of the game.
It looked painful.
I feel very confident talking humans, large/small, fast/slow, but that man would hospitalize me 😂😅😂😂
Hahaha this is great bc people get these thoughts when watching on tv. I’m 6’4 230 and was a SS and I might get him 2 times outta 100 if that
get his shin? the stiff arm he's gonna get is gonna have JR wildin out 🤣🤣. You SOB he has a family 🤣🤣
Travis, is that a glass bong in your background? 😂😂
Back contusion & broken ribs & separated shoulder on 1st attempt.
I loved watching pros Vs joes and the joes getting absolutely destroyed every time
I’m 196 with run specific training I could probably drop my 40 close to 5 seconds because that’s about where it was in HS and I’ve grappled at a pretty high level for 15 years give or take…. I could not tackle Derrick Henry as many times as this man thinks he probably could 🤣
I don’t have to worry about injury and I can reflect between each one and try again; once if your lucky.
The moment Travis Kelce laughed you knew he aint never messing with Henry🤣🤣
Jason cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
