Henry has averaged almost 5 yards a touch the last two years and frankly doesn't take a lot of negative rushes even when hit in the backfield. Mixon offers more in the passing game for sure, but Mixon has not shown the talent as a runner that Henry has. To me, Mixon is closer to Melvin Gordon than he is Derek Henry.
Agree, even though I do like Mixon better than Gordon. Henry is a freak and deserved what he got.
Henry is also deceitfully fast, he can run away from DB's.
Henry finishes and this is one of the things Mixon has not done consistently is finish big runs with TD's.
