Aside from these two backs being completely different, I have to say Henry is the better one. But he's only better by a hair. Leonard has great power and isn't afraid of giving hits, he's also very elusive. However, Henry is a rather straight forward power runner who uses his momentum and weight to push him through. But, given that both LSU and UA have some of the best defenses in the country, Henry outperformed Leonard on an as close-to-equal stage as you can get. Henry found holes and performed, and Leonard wasn't able to do the same. That's what I think sets them apart. But, none the less, these two guys are the stuff of legends.
The feild told the story. Fournett for anyone who even watches football, was the most sure thing for a Heisman lock I've seen in a loong time. Until he played Bama.. that's the day ppl woke up on Henry. Derrick snatched that "sure" Heisman out his hand w no apologies. Its King Henrys for a reason. They're both better than your favorite running back ha can't knock fournett but Derrick is a machine. In college he ran the ball ALL game. Everyone knew he was coming and couldn't stop him. There were multiple games he ran the ball over 40 times. And still only got better as the 4th quarter Drew near. Ppl hate cuz he came from Bama but don't get it twisted , remember there's a reason they hate Bama. Ppl say Clemson stopped Henry n the National. 150+ yards n 3 touchdown is what they call stopping Henry. What they mean is he couldn't win it by himself. But the surreal thing is... He almost did.. give the King his due, or not he'll just take it from Yu
After that 99 yard run I'd have to say Henry is better. Dude could have had 300 yards and 5 tds against the jags if they just would have given him all the carries on that game.
Glad to see someone in this day and age that still don't have Hater in thier blood. Can't knock Fournett he's better than most anyone's favorite back. but yu gotta let the field do the talking ppl!!
Fournette had 30 yards on 19 carries and thats because he had a decent run in garbage time. Before that he had less than 1 yard per carry for the game.
AidanGladiator to pretty sure he tried his best against Bama XD held well under 40 yards 2 years in a row! But I'm sure Yu prolly didn't watch those games for a reason haha reauxll Tide reauxll
Yea n ppl say it's cuz Fournett was all LSU had. And forget in the same breath that a 40+ carry game that season wasn't uncommon for the King. No one could stop him. Reuben Foster himself ain't NEVER laid a hit on Henry like he did when he knocked fournett back into reality XD roll Tide
Fournette is way better if you look at the stats that year Yes Henry had more yards but he also had 95 more carries that year and Henry is a one dimensional back, he can’t receive the ball like Fournette can. And Henry has by far the best o-line in the country and Leonard still averaged more yards a carry. Fournette is better period
Ja Gibbs How bout you learn who shattered Bo and Herschel's records and became the first SEC RB to rush for 2000 yards in a single season! Derrick Henry! Henry run circles around Fournette all day.
+Alabama16NCS in what universe is Henry better? He will be lucky to go in the 3rd round. Fournette could be the no.1 overall pick in the rb-stacked 2017 draft including Chubb, Cook, Perine, Hurd, Freeman, etc. Riddle me that, are scouts dumb or are you just that smart
+Jared Gallet pfff! 31 rush yards and 1 easy TD that Brandon Harris spoon-fed to him. D. Henry ran all over that overrated defense, with 210 rush yards and 3 well-earned TD's. So that's 2 more touchdowns and 179 more rushing yards. LSWHOOO??? Gators e'll tear y'all up next year. No more game winning fg's, or beating us when we have a back-up QB in for the whole game. GO GATORS!!
@@rebeccal1593 lol, yeah I don't remember comments I put out a week ago I don't expect you to remember one 4 years ago, but yes, you did indeed take the L.
Derrick is great but I think fournette is better. Derrick has a way better o-line than fournette and still barely finished above him. Also played more games than fournette. And our first game was cancelled against Mcneese which prolly would've been a 150+ for fournette then he would've beaten out Derrick. Anyway fournette is better. Tigers.
Not to mention henry also had 95 more carries than fournette! it's unthinkable what he could've done with those carries, probably anywhere between 300 to 500 yards and 6 to 8 tds!

You know you're a god if people call 150/3 clamped.
League leader in rush yards vs. super bowl champion
Virtually no comparison. Henry has superior instincts and far better vision.
Fornette lacks elite vision and doesn’t always use his head when runs.
Fournette, and it is not ever close
True
+Tanner Rienbolt Henry, Fournette is not even close.
Tanner Rienbolt I haven't seen lenard win hiesman
After that 99 yard run I'd have to say Henry is better. Dude could have had 300 yards and 5 tds against the jags if they just would have given him all the carries on that game.
SAUSE GOD your right Lenard Fournette has not won a Hiesman but he still has another year
Derrick Henry was 10 times better than Leonard fournette
Henry is better than Fournette. Coming from an LSU fan. I'm the only LSU fan who sees no comparison
Your not a lsu fan lol Derrick Henry got drafted in 2nd round and LF will be early 1st round suck it
Glad to see someone in this day and age that still don't have Hater in thier blood. Can't knock Fournett he's better than most anyone's favorite back. but yu gotta let the field do the talking ppl!!

***** Fournette was averaging less than 1 ypc. Alabama played 15 games and Fournette was the only rb to do that bad
If u let Leonard run he will not be stopped he dominates
AidanGladiator to pretty sure he tried his best against Bama XD held well under 40 yards 2 years in a row! But I'm sure Yu prolly didn't watch those games for a reason haha reauxll Tide reauxll
Derrick Henry won the Heisman trophy so he better than fournite
+Trent Thomas just because he won the Heisman doesn't automatically make him better. If LSU had half the O line Alabama had Fournette would've won it.
Henry all day faster and bigger.
Leonard is faster lol
@@WhatIStruth7 but who is better 🤷🏿♂️😂
Leonard looks like me playing madden
the hardest choice in CFB
Henry is better, its not a debate
Leonard had to run against Alabama's #1 defense only once this season Derrick has to run against them all the time so roll tide 💯
Wtf are u talking about they on the same team????
I'm pretty sure they don't don't starters vs starters scrimmages very often. Your defense will make anyone look average or worse, even Henry
an did yall forgot Leonard fournette was down a game cause of the lighting had still almost had more yards then Henry in regular season
Chad st.romain trash . Remember when Fournette lined up against Bama . Yup
Yea n ppl say it's cuz Fournett was all LSU had. And forget in the same breath that a 40+ carry game that season wasn't uncommon for the King. No one could stop him. Reuben Foster himself ain't NEVER laid a hit on Henry like he did when he knocked fournett back into reality XD roll Tide

He can't stay healthy. Henry has yet to miss a game cause of injury
If youre biased you will say henry. Fournette is way better
