Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson is believed to have generated plenty of interest in the 2025 NFL draft, with multiple teams offering to trade up for the New England Patriots‘ No. 38 pick.
The assumption is that teams were trying to move up for Henderson. In the “Forged in Foxborough” documentary, the Chicago Bears were revealed as one of the teams attempting to trade up with New England. They offered the 39th pick and a seventh-rounder in exchange for pick No. 38.
There was another trade offer that ESPN’s Mike Reiss suggests might have come from the Houston Texans. Reiss wrote:
“In a different proposal, possibly from Houston, the Patriots turned down a deal for pick 38 that would have given them 58, 79 and a 2025 third-rounder. Another detail of note — the 2026 fourth-round pick they acquired in a trade from Kansas City for pick No. 85 is the selection originally owned by Chicago, not the Chiefs’ original pick.”
The Patriots ended up keeping their pick and selecting Henderson in the end.
If anything, it shows how much the staff truly loved his game. He’s an explosive running back with the ability to catch and pass protect at an unusually high level for a rookie.
There haven’t been nearly as many game-changers offensively for the Patriots in recent years, but that should change now that they have a legitimate home run threat in the offensive backfield.
