The Patriots view TreVeyon Henderson as a three-down back, VP of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf said Friday night. "Extremely good speed, pass protection, pass game," Wolf said of his second-round pick. "Although he's a little bit undersized, we view him as a 3-down back. Just a really good complement. He is a threat with the ball in his hands; speed to take it the distance any time he touches it."
The Patriots selected Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson with the 38th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Henderson’s speed and quickness have stood out since he was a five-star recruit. He was too talented for the Buckeyes to keep off the field as a true freshman, leading the team in 2021 with 184 rushes for 1,255 yards and 15 TDs. After dealing with injuries in 2022 and 2023, Henderson stayed in school and split the backfield with transfer Quinshon Judkins last year. His receiving work increased, highlighted by his 75-yard screen TD against Texas in the College Football Playoff. Overall, he impressed with 7.0 yards per carry, 10.8 yards per catch, and 4.43 yards after contact per attempt. Henderson also proved to be one of the top pass protectors in this RB class. His momentum continued at the NFL Combine, where he assembled an 8.87 Relative Athletic Score at 202 pounds.
Former Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson showcased his explosive athletic ability at the Combine running a 4.43 40-yard dash at 5'10 and 202 pounds. He also had a 38.5" Vertical (93rd Percentile) and 10'08 Broad Jump (96th Percentile).
