NFL analyst and former Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden still can’t believe New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson fell to the second round of the 2025 NFL draft.
Henderson has jumped out as an immediate playmaker at the next level. He took it 100 yards to the house the first time the ball touched his hands in the NFL on a game-opening kickoff return against the Washington Commanders in the preseason opener.

Then he weaved his way through multiple defenders to hang six points on the Minnesota Vikings the following week.
The regular season hasn’t even started yet, and some are already wondering if the Patriots got the steal of the draft. Could Henderson end up being the best running back in the entire 2025 class?
“Look at our guy TreVeyon Henderson! Cannot believe he fell to the 2nd round!” Gruden posted on X.
Henderson could end up replacing Rhamondre Stevenson as the starter in New England before long.
His explosiveness as a runner, reliability in the passing game and elite pass protection skills could elevate his position on the depth chart quickly.
