Eliot Wolf, the executive vice president of player personnel for the New England Patriots, announced that TreVeyon Henderson was a unanimous pick during the 2025 NFL Draft. The former Ohio State running back stood out as a top prospect, being recognized for his explosiveness and dual-threat capability as both a runner and receiver. Averaging 7.1 yards per carry in college, he amassed over 3,700 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns, along with impressive stats in receiving.

The Patriots' decision to select Henderson is expected to alleviate pressure on second-year quarterback Drake Maye. Wolf noted that while the draft discussions were robust, there was no dissent regarding Henderson’s selection, indicating strong confidence in his potential impact upon joining the team.
