"Head coach Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots made a statement on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, selecting two of the most explosive skill position prospects on the board in Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson, and Washington State wide receiver Kyle Williams. Five months later, Patriots fans are still itching to see more of their team's dynamic rookie duo."
"Even with Kayshon Boutte out with a hamstring injury, Williiams has had a hard time getting on the field behind Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas. He had a game-breaking, 72-yard catch and run for a touchdown in last week's road upset over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he's still under 100 total receiving yards on the season. Henderson has been the larger source of frustration for fans, who have been clamoring for the speedy rookie to be more involved."
Mike Vrabel and the Patriots drafted TreVeyon Henderson and Kyle Williams as explosive skill players in 2025. Williams has shown big-play ability, including a 72-yard touchdown, yet remains under 100 receiving yards while playing behind veterans. Coaching staff has limited Henderson's usage, with no game exceeding 14 carries or 20 total touches across 10 games as they handle the 200-pound back cautiously. Injuries to other running backs could increase Henderson's snaps on short weeks, but reporter Greg Bedard does not expect Henderson to be deployed as a true bell‑cow running back going forward.
