While the New England Patriots suffered a devastating loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15 of the season, a bright light has shone even brighter in one of their rookies, including against the mighty Bills. The player is a rookie second-round pick, TreVeyon Henderson, whose electric running is lighting up the entire NFL and has now garnered the favorite's position for a coveted award.
The award is the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year. No Patriot has won the award since running back Curtis Martin in 1995. Veteran Patriots' fans remember Martin's fabulous three years with the Patriots before defecting, along with head coach Bill Parcells (now a Patriots Hall of Famer), to the Jets, where he played for eight more years.
