New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson revealed who he’s been studying as he gets acclimated to the Patriots offense.
Here’s one hint: it’s a three-time Super Bowl-winning running back.
“James White. Shoot, he dang near looked like a receiver. He was a great running back here,” Henderson responded, when asked what previous player he was studying to prepare for Josh McDaniels’ offense, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Henderson has a unique blend of running ability, as well as pass-catching and blocking skills. He’s a legitimate triple-threat option for the team in the offensive backfield.
White, an All-Dynasty player, was an all-around athlete who always shined in the biggest moments for the Patriots. Henderson is hoping to pick up the mantle as the next do-everything running back in New England.
One wrinkle to his game that the Patriots haven’t had is the speed. Henderson is a potential home run threat every time he touches the ball. That kind of talent could ultimately help spark a Patriots offense looking to break out in 2025.
