Patriots Rookie Reveals Former Franchise Great He’s Studying

A New England Patriots newcomer aims to learn a few tricks by watching a former franchise mainstay.

The Patriots added another offensive playmaker when drafting TreVeyon Henderson with the No. 38 pick. After winning a national title at Ohio State, the running back hopes to improve one facet of his game this summer.

“He dang near looked like a receiver,” Henderson said of White.
