The excitement about the Patriots' offense this season was especially felt when Mike Vrabel and Co. surprisingly selected Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of this year's draft. The position was not considered among the most pressing to address in the early rounds, but Henderson's explosive abilities made too much sense for them to pass on him once they were on the clock.
Throughout the summer, he lived up to the hype and became a sneaky favorite to potentially become the best rookie at the position in the league, so the expectation was that he would be a significant part of the offensive game planning this fall.
