"Henderson was drafted in the second round of the 2025 draft to do what he's now doing in style: taking the top off NFL defenses. He finally got his chance to shine and was like a supernova. After two long touchdown runs against Tampa Bay, Henderson followed up that masterpiece with a three-touchdown game against the Jets. He's been just what the doctor ordered for a Patriots backfield that's been tormented with injuries."
"With Antonio Gibson out for the season and Rhamondre Stevenson missing games with a toe injury, Henderson needed to step up, and he did just that. Now, with Stevenson returning, there should be no doubt whatsoever that Henderson is the lead back now and in the future. TreVeyon Henderson is the explosive back a team needs to win it all TreVeyon Henderson has now shown he can translate what he did for Ohio State to the pro game."
TreVeyon Henderson has exploded onto the Patriots' offense, providing home-run plays and multiple-touchdown games that have revitalized a backfield hit by injuries. The Patriots sit atop the AFC East and share the NFL's best record midway through the season, aided by Henderson's downfield explosiveness and Ohio State pedigree. Henderson stepped up with Antonio Gibson out for the season and Rhamondre Stevenson injured, and with Stevenson returning Henderson is positioned as the clear lead back. Defenses must now game-plan for Henderson, which opens opportunities for quarterback Drake Maye's precision passing. Coach Mike Vrabel emphasized the need for better blocking upfront to maximize Henderson's impact.
