Hunter Henry’s 2025 breakout with Patriots might be closer than people realize

An otherwise forgettable 2024 season for the Patriots turned out to be a solid one for veteran tight end Hunter Henry. Despite a miserable corps of wide receivers around him, Henry emerged as one of Drake Maye's security blankets while leading the team with 66 catches. He produced 674 yards and a pair of touchdown catches.

With offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels back in the fold and a rebuilt offense around Maye, the 2025 season could mean better numbers for Henry. The Patriots are running it back, so to speak, in their tight end room with veterans Henry and Austin Hooper, their top two options at that position.
