The Patriots had some internal debate on who to select at No. 38, but they wound up drafting TreVeyon Henderson.

Henderson is a speedy, undersized running back out of head coach Mike Vrabel’s alma mater. The 5-foot-10, 202-pound ball carrier ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine and averaged 7.1 yards per carry in 2024 for the national champion Buckeyes.

FOXBORO — When the Patriots called Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson to share they had drafted him early in the second round Friday night, no one was more surprised than Henderson.
