"The return of Rhamondre Stevenson to the New England Patriots' starting lineup had some concerned about what it would mean for rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson, who had impressed during his starts in the veteran's place. Although he's taken a backseat since Stevenson recalimed the starting role, he continues to be an explosive aspect of the Patriots' offense, as seen against the Giants on Monday Night Football."
"Given that Stevenson was put back in the starting lineup as soon as he returned from injury, there was some chatter that the coaching staff might not have been all that thrilled with Henderson's performance in his absence. But based on what Vrabel had to say about him before Monday night's game, and who he compared him to, it seems fair to assume that's far from the truth. Mike Vrabel couldn't have compared TreVeyon Henderson to a better running back"
"'I'm not big into comparisons. I don't like comparisons. But, when I watch TreVeyon Henderson run, the player in today's game that jumps into my mind is Jahmyr Gibbs.'"
Rhamondre Stevenson returned to the New England Patriots' starting lineup, prompting concern about rookie TreVeyon Henderson's role after Henderson impressed during Stevenson's absence. Henderson has ceded the starting job but continues to provide explosive plays, displaying decisiveness and burst against the New York Giants with 11 attempts for 67 yards, four missed tackles forced and three 10-plus-yard rushes. The coaching staff faced chatter about Henderson's earlier starts, but head coach Mike Vrabel praised Henderson and compared his running style to Jahmyr Gibbs, signaling belief in Henderson's high upside and future contributions.
