"Yet, one of the most impactful additions was Vrabel's terrific second-round pick, TreVeyon Henderson, who's now drawing comparisons to another top NFL back, Detroit Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs. Henderson's and Gibbs' rookie seasons after Week 8 are eerily similar. If Henderson can keep following the trajectory that Gibbs has had, he'll emerge as a 1000-yard running back annually and one of the NFL's top backs like Gibbs."
"He stepped in from Day One and owned the position. Even though he missed several games due to injury, he was still Pro Football Focus's seventh-rated rookie. Yet, it was TreVeyon Henderson who arguably has been the Patriots' most impactful rookie. He not only made the All-Rookie Team, but also broke four runs of more than 50 yards for touchdowns. He provided exactly what the Patriots needed: offensive explosiveness."
Mike Vrabel overhauled the Patriots' roster and used a second-round pick on TreVeyon Henderson. Henderson's production from Week 8 onward closely mirrors Jahmyr Gibbs' rookie second-half output, prompting comparisons and projection toward 1,000-yard seasons and top-back status. Henderson was benched for most of the first nine games for perceived pass-blocking deficiencies, then seized an opportunity after injuries and produced explosiveness, including four touchdown runs of more than 50 yards. Will Campbell, the fourth-overall pick, started at left tackle and earned a strong rookie PFF grade despite missing games. Henderson made the All-Rookie Team and is an Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate.
