Patriots rising talent finally gets his shot to make the leap in Week 10

"TreVeyon Henderson of Ohio State came aboard as Mike Vrabel's second-ever Patriots' draft pick in the 2025 second round. It was a massive investment in a player many observers thought could add a missing element, explosiveness, to a lackluster Patriots' backfield. The top returnees were fumbling Rhamondre Stevenson, who had as many fumbles as touchdowns (seven) in 2024, and all-purpose back, Antonio Gibson. Gibson is now out for the season with an ACL injury, and Stevenson has a toe issue. Thus, all signs now point to Henderson assuming the No. 1 back role."

"TreVeyon Henderson could break out in the second half of the season. Rhamondre Stevenson is dealing with a toe injury that sidelined him in Week 9, which left Henderson and Terrell Jennings to split touches out of the backfield. Despite showing electric playmaking ability in the preseason, Henderson has yet to showcase his capability in a signature regular-season performance. However, considering the New England Patriots didn't add a running back while Stevenson recovers from injury, the rookie second-rounder could be in line for more touches in the coming weeks."

"It's no secret that Henderson can make good things happen with the ball in his hands. Unfortunately, the Patriots' offensive line hasn't opened enough holes for him to get him in space to show what he can do. When it has, it's clear he's a touchdown waiting to ha"

Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots made no significant additions at the NFL trade deadline, leaving running back depth unchanged. TreVeyon Henderson, a 2025 second-round pick from Ohio State, was a major investment intended to add explosiveness to the backfield. Top returning backs include Rhamondre Stevenson, who struggled with fumbles, and Antonio Gibson, now out for the season with an ACL injury; Stevenson also carries a toe issue. Henderson and Terrell Jennings briefly split touches while Stevenson was sidelined. With no new running back added, Henderson appears likely to receive more opportunities and could break out.
