Despite being the nation's all-time leading high school rusher, a member of the 2015 national champion Alabama Crimson Tide and the 2015 Heisman Trophy winner, Derrick Henry is predicted to slip out of the first round of the NFL Draft and go somewhere near the top of the second round, possibly to the Dallas Cowboys.

If that sounds a little bit like the career of Emmitt Smith, then that's good news for Henry. Although he didn't win the Heisman Trophy or a national championship at Florida, Smith was a highly decorated Florida high school running back who had an outstanding college career but slipped to the end of the first round of the draft to the Cowboys.

Of course Smith went on to become the NFL's all-time leading rusher with 18,355 career yards. Whether or not Henry can do the same will depend on his ability to transition to the much quicker NFL.

A 6-foot-3 powerful back with 4.54 speed in the 40-yard dash, Henry's weakness could be avoiding tacklers. However Henry has overcome doubters before. In high school at Yulee (Fla.), Henry broke a record that was thought to be unbreakable - Ken Hall's national rushing record of 11,232 yards. Henry rushed for 12,124 yards and was the MaxPreps National Player of the Year in 2012.

A backup his first two seasons at Alabama, Henry rushed for 2,219 yards, the fifth-highest total in NCAA history, his junior year while winning the Heisman and a national crown.
