Could Derrick Henry have gone straight to the NFL?

Furthermore if this theory was correct every high school qb would be beating down the doors of Texas tech, Iowa state, Louisville, or such.

Please expand on how where Derrick Henry played college football affects his NFL career? Correct me if I'm wrong but the nfl is littered with starters that went to smaller schools or played on inferior college teams. I guess it's the fact you cheer for the gumps everyone else is inferior as a running back. Derrick Henry was gonna be just like he is today if he played for Rubys Resthome and Door Knob Lickers University!!!

Don't you know that Alabama is a champion RB machine? Look at all the Alabama alumni on the top 25 rushers list per ESPN ( https://www.espn.com/nfl/history/leaders/_/stat/rushlead ):

So have the titans. Although one could argue they never really were not much of anything other than a wild card from one season to the next.

They have been to the super bowl and was 1 yard away from tying before the clock ran out, maybe they just need a good running back
