It's undeniably important that preseason action can be a small key to a rookie's development, whether they're a first or a seventh-round pick.
TreVeyon Henderson made quite a splash in his first preseason game in a Patriots' uniform, returning the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in the 48-18 win against Washington, showing off the speed and explosiveness that New England hopes translates to the regular season.
Henderson could be one of the playmakers Patriots' fans have been waiting to see for years, and the traits he showed on Friday against the Commanders indicated that Eliot Wolf made the right choice to draft him, and the Patriots got an absolute steal early in the second round.
