New England is 5-2 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-mike-vrabel-chants-take-over-nissan-stadium-titans-demolition">after demolishing Tennessee 31-31 on Sunday</a>. The Patriots head coach spoke about one offensive player on Monday who did not have a big role in Week 7.</p><p>Vrabel reassured fans that rookie TreVeyon Henderson <a href="https://x.com/mikekadlick/status/1980297577401868790" rel="noopener">is still an important piece on offense</a>.</p><p>“It’s just kinda how it played out. Thought Rhamondre was running well,” Vrabel said on Monday per SI’s Mike Kadlick. “Had some good protections. TreVeyon’s gonna be a large part of what we do … that’s just kind of where it was this week.”</p><p>Starting running back Rhamondre Stevenson got the bulk of the workload against the Titans. He had 18 carries for 88 rushing yards and a touchdown.</p><p>But many Patriots fans want to see Henderson play a bigger role on offense. Especially because of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-rhamondre-stevenson-gets-destroyed-fans-brutal-fumble">Stevenson’s struggles throughout the season</a>, with the exception of Sunday’s win.</p><p>Henderson only has 43 attempts for 153 yards and one touchdown through seven games. But he’s also been active in the receiving game with 16 receptions for 99 yards.</p><p>Ultimately the Patriots were expected to roll over the Titans with ease. That being the case, it makes sense to pound the football with an established running back and not get too creative.</p><p>Perhaps the Patriots will get Henderson more involved next week.</p><h2><b>Patriots not shopping for running backs before trade deadline</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Vrabel-coaches_019502.jpg"><figcaption>Tina MacIntyre-Yee/Democrat and Chronicle / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Vrabel’s comments on Monday are not the only positive sign related to Henderson.</p><p>Over the weekend, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-rumors-is-new-england-trying-trade-rb-upgrade">New England is not exploring</a> the running back trade market. The NFL trade deadline is on November 4th.</p><p>‘The Patriots are not making calls for a running back, but they have talked to teams about pass rushers,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport wrote on Saturday. “They’re fielding calls on several of their own players as well.”</p><p>The fact that New England is comfortable with their running back situation is a great sign for Henderson. He may not be a lead back right now, but he could grow into that role throughout the season.</p><p>Henderson is also one injury away from being the lead back for the Patriots either way.</p><p>Regardless, it is too early for Patriots fans to panic about TreVeyon Henderson. Especially with the Patriots 5-2 through seven weeks.</p><p>Next up for the Patriots is a Week 8 matchup against the Browns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now it’s about building a dominating defense and a respectable offense.</p><p>One of the keys to the offense is quite obvious. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/patriots-news-mike-vrabel-breaks-up-2nd-joint-practice-scuffle">The Patriots</a> need second-year quarterback Drake Maye to take a couple of major steps up the ladder and become a competent and consistent leader. Nobody is asking him to compare with Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow, but he needs to show Vrabel, the coaching staff and his teammates that he can complete key third-down passes and show off his escapability when it comes to leaving the pocket and making plays with his feet.</p><p>Maye is not going to to have to do it alone. While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/patriots-news-oc-take-treveyon-hendersons-speed">the Patriots</a> don’t have dominating weapons on the offensive side of the ball, they added talented rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson in last spring’s draft with their second-round pick. Henderson is a multi-talented athlete who played a key role for Ohio State during the Buckeyes’ national championship run last season.</p><p>If Vrabel is sharp, he is going to give Henderson a number of opportunities to help the Patriots succeed this season.</p><h2><b>Henderson is going to do a solid job running the ball</b></h2><p>The Patriots have a solid professional in the backfield Rhamondre Stevenson. While they have been a losing team in each of the past three seasons, Stevenson has been a back the Pats can depend on and he rushed for 801 yards, averaged 3.9 yards per carry and scored 7 touchdowns last year.</p><p>However, he is not a superstar and the Patriots can use some help in the running game. Henderson can do a solid job <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6543525/2025/08/09/patriots-treveyon-henderson-commanders-stock-report-roster/">running the ball</a> and take some of the heat off of Stevenson.</p><p>If he can upgrade the running game, it will pay huge dividends for Maye. The pressure on the QB1 is always going to be significant, but if the Patriots have a successful two-headed running game, then Maye won’t have to carry the offense on his shoulders.</p><p>It should be a move that makes quite a bit of sense because the New England defense should be the strength of the team. If the Patriots want to maintain possession of the ball and give the team its best chance to win, it should employ a strong running game that includes Henderson getting at least half the carries. He ran for 1,041 yards and 10 touchdowns with the Buckeyes a year ago.</p><h2>Give Henderson a chance to play a role as a receiver and a return specialist</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Mike-Vrabel-is-hoping-the-Patriots-can-regain-their-luster-in-2025.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Henderson has the skills to play a key role in the passing game. In addition to being able to catch the ball and make plays when the Patriots employ screen passes, Henderson can beat linebackers when it comes to running circle routes. It will be hard for any linebacker to keep up with him when he gets a running start out of the backfield.</p><p>Once he catches the ball, Henderson is very tough to bring down. He has the speed to run away from tacklers and he also has the moves to make tacklers miss on a regular basis.</p><p>These are also factors that should make him an outstanding return man. He displayed that ability in New England’s first preseason game with a 100-yard TD return against the Washington Commanders.</p><p>He can run away from tacklers and he can also use his balance and determination to break off big returns that improve field position. It appears that the NFL’s dynamic kickoff is a difficult play for most returners to handle, but Henderson appears to be the right man for the job.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And his speed has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-treveyon-henderson-comparison-drake-maye">caught the eye of his quarterback</a>. Furthermore, Patriots’ offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels dropped an <a href="https://x.com/ByMarkDaniels/status/1954983511909093436" rel="noopener">eye-opening take</a> on Henderson’s speed, according to a post on X by Mark Daniels.</p><p>“Josh McDaniels has coached some talented running backs, but said none of them have been as fast as Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson”</p><p>That’s a lot of praise for a guy who still has to prove himself at the NFL level. It’s just that Henderson won’t have to prove himself in one category. He already has the wheels to be a standout NFL running back.</p><h2><b>Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson sprinting to spotlight</b></h2><p>Henderson is already looking like a wise choice by the Patriots, according to nytimes.com.</p><p>“The Patriots didn’t need a running back in the draft,” Chad Graff wrote. “And so it was a bit of a surprise when they used a second-round pick on Henderson this April. But their thinking was simple. Vrabel’s regime was inheriting a roster that ranked near the bottom in every explosive-play stat. They needed some juice.</p><p>“Enter Henderson. The speedy back took the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, showing his speed and big-play ability. But he showed that his game is about more than just speed. On one reception in the red zone, Henderson lowered his shoulder and flattened a defender. He got to the edge on his lone carry for an 18-yard gain.”</p><p>And it’s not just the speed. Henderson shows off plenty of <a href="https://www.nbcsportsboston.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/treveyon-henderson-best-running-back-rhamondre-stevenson/723755/" rel="noopener">other athletic chops</a>, according to Patriots Talk Podcast via nbcsports.com.</p><p>“Explosive athlete,” Phil Perry said. “Every time he touches it, I feel like you notice his burst. It feels like he’s moving at a little different speed than everybody else on the field.</p><p>“To me, you’ve gotta try to find ways to get the ball in his hands. I think he’s their best back right now. I’m already there. I think he’s their best back. You’ve got one guy who fumbles a lot. You’ve got another guy who I think is pretty good and was actually better than Stevenson last year in Antonio Gibson. But I think the most talented guy they have [is Henderson].”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Patriots enter 2025 with a new coach and a strong rookie class. And one of those rookies got off to an incredible start in New England’s preseason opener. Running back TreVeyon Henderson scored on his first NFL touch, returning the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-treveyon-henderson-houses-opening-kickoff-first-nfl-touch">opening kickoff for a 100-yard touchdown</a>.</p><p>The awe-inspiring moment had fans and players buzzing.

The rookie rusher shared the backfield with fifth-year veteran Rhamondre Stevenson. But Henderson separated himself from other RBs on the roster with his work in the passing game. He finished his preseason debut with one rush for 18 yards and three receptions for 12 yards.</p><p>Maye also left the contest after the Patriots’ first two drives and he looked sharp as well. The second-year passer picked up a five-yard rushing touchdown on his last play of the game.</p><p>New England moved on from Jerod Mayo at the end of his first season as head coach, tapping Mike Vrabel to helm the team. After an unparalleled stretch of success under Bill Belichick, the Patriots have missed the postseason in three straight years. That’s the team’s longest absence since the early 90s.</p><p>But with a new leader and, arguably, the best rookie class in the NFL, New England appears ready to bounce back. Much of that confidence comes from finding a franchise quarterback in Maye. However, Henderson has outshined the QB in training camp as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-training-camp-best-offensive-player-young-star-not-drake-maye">Patriots’ best offensive player</a>.</p><p>New England took the former Ohio State standout in the second round of the 2025 draft. Henderson was the fourth running back off the board, following Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton and Quinshon Judkins. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-2025-nfl-draft-grades-every-pick">pick earned excellent grades</a> from the football community. And Henderson looks ready to contribute immediately in his rookie season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
