The Patriots took Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson at No. 38 overall, forming a fearsome RB duo with Rhamondre Stevenson already there. New England also bulked up the offensive line with Will Campbell at No. 4 overall on Thursday. Below, we break down our initial thoughts on the Henderson selection.
TREVEYON HENDERSON
- Henderson had more than 1,200 rushing yards as a freshman on 6.8 yards per carry, a highly impressive debut season considering the competition for touches at Ohio State. Henderson played only 18 games over his next two years while dealing with injuries — and his efficiency dipped too — prompting Ohio State to bring in Quinshon Judkins to help alleviate Henderson’s workload. Last year, Henderson had 50 fewer carries than Judkins but nearly matched him in yardage as the much more efficient Buckeye RB. Henderson is viewed as a highly capable pass catcher and blocker and has drawn comps to Aaron Jones and Jahmyr Gibbs. His inability to shoulder a massive workload at Ohio State raises questions about his touch ceiling in the NFL, but his receiving ability and three-down skill set gives him plenty of outs to contribute for fantasy football.
