"Henderson's lack of production hasn't been due to poor play. There's been a lack of touches. He has approximately two games' worth of carries, rushing for 121 yards on 32 totes. In unfortunate circumstances, his volume will go up because of the news that Antonio Gibson is lost for the season to an ACL injury he suffered against the Buffalo Bills."
"From the get-go, I thought of Henderson as the lightning to Stevenson's thunder. And even though "Mondre" has had his struggles holding on to the football, it is still imperative that he improve upon his 3.7 yards per carry and be the Pats' bruiser between the tackles. Can Henderson be a between-the-tackles runner? He is right there with Stevenson with a 3.8 yards per carry average, but New England will be best suited to work on finding ways to get him in space,"
TreVeyon Henderson entered the offseason with high expectations and scored a 100-yard kickoff-return touchdown in preseason. His limited production stems from a lack of touches rather than poor play, totaling 121 yards on 32 carries. Antonio Gibson suffered a season-ending ACL, which will increase Henderson's volume and opportunities. Mike Vrabel praised Henderson while noting areas for growth as his role expands. Henderson profiles as a playmaker in space and a potential complement to Rhamondre Stevenson, who must improve ball security and efficiency. The Patriots now need Henderson to step up into a larger offensive role.
