Few were surprised Thursday when Alabama's star running back Derrick Henry entered his name in the 2016 NFL Draft, but the Heisman Trophy winner shocked some when he gave a not-so-subtle hint as to which team he'd like to play for.
Apparently, given the choice, Henry would like to head to the Lone Star State and play for the Dallas Cowboys.

"I feel like it (Dallas) has a great organization," Henry said, via AL.com.
Henry, who rushed for 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns on 395 carries this season, is unhappy with second-round draft grade and has vowed to be a first-round pick.
"I feel like, just because I got my grade, it doesn't mean I'm not going to be first round," Henry said. "I feel like what I do and how I test at the combine and work out. I feel like I will be first round."
The Cowboys will likely be in the market for a running back after Joseph Randle was suspended and released and Lance Dunbar suffered a serious knee injury. Darren McFadden stepped up during the second half of the season, finishing with 1,089 yards on 239 carries, but he is not a long-term solution.
Despite the need, Henry would have to drastically improve his draft status to warrant the Cowboys selecting him in the first round, as Dallas has the fourth-overall pick.
