Patriots rising talent finally gets his shot to make the leap in Week 10

Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots added no top players at the NFL trade deadline to help fuel their playoff run. That was a puzzling development. Yet, a national analyst has singled out one Patriots player, running back TreVeyon Henderson, whom they feel could be a big beneficiary of that deadline's inactivity.

TreVeyon Henderson of Ohio State came aboard as Mike Vrabel's second-ever Patriots' draft pick in the 2025 second round. It was a massive investment in a player many observers thought could add a missing element, explosiveness, to a lackluster Patriots' backfield.

The top returnees were fumbling Rhamondre Stevenson, who had as many fumbles as touchdowns (seven) in 2024, and all-purpose back, Antonio Gibson.
