FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots added a playmaker with their first pick of Day 2 of the 2025 NFL draft.

The Patriots selected Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson 38th overall in the second round.

Henderson is a speedy, undersized running back out of head coach Mike Vrabel’s alma mater. The 5-foot-10, 202-pound ball carrier ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine and averaged 7.1 yards per carry in 2024 for the national champion Buckeyes.

Henderson shared the backfield with Quinshon Judkins, who surprisingly went two picks earlier to the Browns. Henderson ran for 1,016 yards on 144 carries with 10 touchdowns in 2024 and caught 27 passes for 284 yards with another score.

In his four-year college career, Henderson, a team captain in 2024, carried the ball 590 times for 3,761 yards 42 touchdowns. He caught 77 passes for 853 yards with six receiving touchdowns.

Henderson will join Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson and Terrell Jennings in the Patriots’ running back room. Henderson has the ability to take on early-down carries but could shine in the third-down back role in Josh McDaniels’ offense.

That role previously was manned by James White, Shane Vereen and Kevin Faulk, among others.
