Emmitt Smith thinks Derrick Henry can break all-time rushing record
Derrick Henry, at age 32, is playing like he did at age 22.
Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith believes that Derrick Henry, at 32 years old, has the potential to break the all-time rushing record. Currently, Henry trails Smith by 5,193 yards. To reach the record, Henry would need to play at least four more seasons beyond 2026, totaling 84 games. If he averages 61.8 yards per game, he will reach the record.
Henry is just 97 yards behind Eric Dickerson, 403 yards away from Jerome Bettis, 22 yards from LaDainian Tomlinson, and 417 yards from Curtis Martin. If he continues to perform at this level and maintains his health, Henry has a strong chance of surpassing the record, potentially joining Dickerson, Bettis, Tomlinson, and Martin in the Hall of Fame.
