TreVeyon Henderson Joins the Backfield of the New England Patriots

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.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

TreVeyon Henderson is a surprise addition to the Patriots, but adds a new element to the offense. 

Rhamondre Stevenson will still be involved between the tackles, but Henderson gives a dynamic receiver out of the backfield for QB Drake Maye.

He will be more valuable in PPR and has upside to put up high-end RB3 numbers. 

Dynasty Impact

Henderson's draft capital means the Patriots should commit to utilizing him as an offensive weapon.

He should be a first round rookie pick, though the landing spot could cause him to fall a bit further than anticipated.
