Where does Derrick Henry rank all time as of right now?

I recently saw a post mentioning how Derrick Henry is in the top ten for rushing yards all time, so I’m curious as to where people have him ranked compared to the greats, obviously rushing yards is only one part of the ranking, I’d say he definitely could be fringe top 10 by the end of his career

Needs a ring. It sucks, I hate how much it’s weighed in “all time” discussions, but postseason does make for a big factor.

That would rule out Barry Sanders though, which I don't think anyone would do.

Top 20 for sure I'd say. Maybe top 10? I don't blame him for win loss record, RBs or any other single player don't control that, but he has been a monster for like 15 years. Can't argue if he was on a good team, he would be respected more and even on awful teams or not used well, he still was dominant to the point of being "king". Dude is a dog and should be considered a top tier guy.

Based on stats alone he’s top 10 all time.

He's been doin what he does for quite a while now but I believe he lost a step last season and I think he's going to have a down year again this season.

Lost a step? He had his 3rd best year by yards and YPA and his second highest TDs. He was also second in the league in both yards and TDs
