John Reed-US PRESSWIRE
Derrick Henry became a member of an exclusive club at Alabama last night, joining Mark Ingram as the only Crimson Tide players to win a Heisman trophy and a national championship in the same season.
This year's Heisman winnder and the New Orleans Saints running back celebrated the occasion with a picture in the locker room.
The postgame photo features the caption "2 Heismans, 2 Nattys" and is slightly more flattering than the one taken during the coin toss of the two Alabama legends, in which the 6-foot-3, 243-pound Henry dwarfs Ingram.
Ingram was selected by the Saints with the 28th pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. If Henry decides to turn pro, he will likely be a high-round selection as well.
