TreVeyon Henderson could be the most electric Patriots rookie in decades

TreVeyon Henderson has yet to play an official NFL down, but the hype around the Patriots' rookie running back is understandably high. His performances in the preseason showed that Henderson is the playmaker that New England's offense has coveted for quite some time.

It has been three decades since there was this much hype over a Patriots' rookie running back, when a young guy named Curtis Martin posted 102 yards in his NFL debut - a win over Bill Belichick's Cleveland Browns - and even though Martin played in New England only three seasons, his 3,799 yards rushing ranks him fourth in franchise history.
