Patriots Fans Excited By TreVeyon Henderson Pick in Round 2 of 2025 NFL Draft

The New England Patriots selected Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson with the No. 38 overall pick in the NFL draft on Friday.

Henderson starred for Ohio State over four years, amassing 4,614 total yards and 48 touchdowns. This year, Henderson rushed for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns (7.1 yards per carry) to go along with 27 receptions for 284 yards and another score for the national champions.

He remained efficient throughout his entire collegiate career, rushing for an impressive 6.4 yards per carry.

Now he's a Patriot after New England used the No. 6 pick in the second round to take him. Of note, Henderson's Ohio State teammate and backfield mate, running back Quinshon Judkins, went two spots earlier to the Cleveland Browns.

Fans and analysts reacted to the move.

The Patriots haven't drafted a running back this high since taking Georgia's Sony Michel with the No. 31 overall pick in 2018. They also haven't taken a running back at all since 2022, when the Pats selected South Dakota State's Pierre Strong and South Carolina's Kevin Harris in Rounds 4 and 6, respectively.

Now he'll share the backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson as the Patriot look for a great start to the Mike Vrabel era.
