FOXBOROUGH — Rhamondre Stevenson is making it clear that the NFL should take notice of the New England Patriots’ new addition, rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State. The Patriots selected Henderson in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft, and he has quickly made a significant impression on the team.
When asked about Henderson’s impact on the field, Stevenson emphasized his speed and competitiveness. “They better be able to move,” he remarked. “Cuz, he’s fast.” He also praised Henderson’s character off the field, highlighting that he is approachable and values their shared conversations about faith.
Stevenson’s own position had come into question last year due to fumbling issues, despite signing a four-year, $36 million contract extension before the 2024 season. While it seems he remains the top running back on the roster, the competition for playing time is fierce. Instead of seeing Henderson as a threat, Stevenson views him as a valuable addition to the team, stating, “I think we all do everything. We’re all-every down backs. I think we all bring something different to the table. I feel like we’re pretty diverse back there.”
This camaraderie and shared vision among the running back group could bode well for the Patriots as they look to enhance their offensive strategy in the upcoming season. The competitive spirit and teamwork can lead to a more dynamic and effective backfield, potentially making the Patriots a formidable force in the league.
As the season approaches, fans can look forward to seeing how the combination of Stevenson and Henderson unfolds on the field.
