Patriots Reportedly Turned Down Draft-Day Trade Offer From NFC Foe
The New England Patriots surprised some by using the 38th overall pick in last month’s NFL draft on Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson.
But it seems they weren’t the only team eyeing Henderson with that selection.
In fact, ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported Sunday that an NFC team was looking to move up just one spot, presumably to draft Henderson.
“One draft-day nugget revealed in ‘Forged in Foxborough’ was that the Chicago Bears tried to move up to pick No. 38, offering pick 39 and a seventh-rounder to do so,” Reiss wrote. “The assumption is that they wanted running back TreVeyon Henderson. The Patriots declined and took Henderson themselves.”
