Derrick Henry next to Mark Ingram: Which one is the pro here?
Mark Ingram is a former Alabama Heisman Trophy winner, the starting running back for the New Orleans Saints and overall a pretty big guy. While he stands at 5-foot-9 and 215 pounds, he is basically towered over by Alabama's current Heisman Trophy running back, Derrick Henry.
Via Cork Gaines of Business Insider, as seen at Monday night's national title game against Clemson:

Here's another angle that doesn't do Ingram many favors, per Mike Golic of ESPN:

That is quite a huge difference between the star running back for the Crimson Tide and the lead back for the Saints.
For what it's worth, Henry is 6-3 and 242, so he has quite a bit of height, and weight on Ingram, the Heisman winner back in 2009.
