Patriots Select TreVeyon Henderson in 2025 NFL Draft
Boston, MA—In a highly anticipated move in the 2025 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots have selected running back TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State with the 38th overall pick. This decision has garnered positive reactions, notably from former Patriots star James White, who highlighted Henderson’s exceptional capabilities.
White, a three-time Super Bowl champion, praised Henderson during a recent appearance on NBC Sports Boston’s "Next Pats Podcast." "This is a home run pick, in my opinion," he stated, emphasizing the running back’s explosive playmaking ability. Henderson, who amassed 1,300 yards from scrimmage in 2024 and averaged an impressive 7.1 yards per carry, is noted for his ability to excel under pressure.
White noted that Henderson not only brings speed and agility but also exceptional pass-blocking skills, calling him the best in the nation at this crucial aspect of the game. "He was knocking middle linebackers off their feet," White remarked, drawing attention to Henderson’s potential impact on the Patriots’ offensive strategy.
With Josh McDaniels returning as offensive coordinator, White sees Henderson fitting into a balanced backfield that could include Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson. This depth mirrors White’s early career, where multiple running backs shared carries in an effective rotation.
As the Patriots prepare for the upcoming season, the addition of Henderson adds considerable talent to their roster, promising to enhance their offensive capabilities.
