Alabama running back Derrick Henry is one of the most dominant players in college football, and he currently has NFL personnel executives reportedly believing that he will be a late first-round draft pick and no worse than a second-round pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.

Henry has already been named a Heisman finalists, and he has a strong argument as to why he is the most impactful player in all of college football. The Alabama star running back currently has helped lead his team to the College Football Playoff and has rushed for 1,986 yards with 23 touchdowns this year. Henry broke Herschel Walker's single-season SEC rushing record and also tied Tim Tebow's single-season rushing touchdown record. Henry is expected to be a starting running back at the next level, and an NFL personnel executive could see him going as early as the 10th pick in the 2016 NFL draft.

Henry has drawn comparisons with former NFL running backs Eddie George and Brandon Jacobs by NFL executives, and he has shown that he is a great worker with a positive personality this year, according to Schefter and Mortensen. Henry has already won the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award as the nation's top player, as well as the Doak Walker Award as the top running back.

At 6-foot-3, 242 pounds, Henry runs through tackles like paper bags and is expected to be a dominant running back at the next level. Henry is in his junior season at Alabama, but he is expected to declare for the 2016 NFL Draft. The Crimson Tide face the Michigan State Spartans in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Eve, and NFL scouts will be watching Henry closely as they will want to see how he performs on a national stage.
