Emmitt Smith says Derrick Henry could break his NFL rushing record
Emmitt Smith, the NFL's all-time leading rusher, said that Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry could break his career rushing record. Smith made the comment in an interview, praising Henry's size and conditioning. Henry, 32, currently has 13,163 career yards, trailing Smith by 5,193. After rushing for 144 yards in Week 1, Henry said he is focused on the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints, not the record. To break the record, Henry would need to play about five more seasons at his career average.
