Alabama running back Derrick Henry is a big, big man.

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner weighed in at 247 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday, making him the heaviest player in his running back class.

Henry weighed five pounds heavier than the 242 pounds he was listed at while at Alabama.

Henry carries his weight well, but it's hard not to draw comparisons to another former Alabama runner whose weight has been a topic throughout his pro career: Eddie Lacy.

The Green Bay Packers recently made it clear that Lacy, who slumped to a disappointing finish in 2015, needs to lose 30 pounds.
