Taylor Respects Henry as Elite Standard | Indianapolis Colts News

Jonathan Taylor just dropped a major compliment on Derrick Henry, calling him the gold standard for elite running backs—despite his own MVP-caliber season with 1,585 yards and 18 touchdowns. Henry, meanwhile, matched him with 1,595 yards and 16 TDs while carrying the ball fewer times, proving why he’s still the benchmark. Taylor’s new Colts contract underscores how vital he is, but even with his breakout year, he sees Henry as the ultimate reference point. Both have delivered monster seasons for years—Taylor with 1,800+ yards in 2021, Henry with five 1,500-yard campaigns. As younger stars like Barkley and Robinson rise, Henry’s name remains synonymous with greatness, and Taylor’s praise confirms the bar is set sky-high.
