The article discusses the limitations of NFL offseason workouts, particularly for the running game, due to lack of full pads and live contact. It highlights TreVeyon Henderson, the Patriots' 37th overall draft pick, who has quickly made a positive impression with his speed and ability to grasp the playbook. Coaches, including running backs coach Tony Dews, praise Henderson's skills and potential value to the team. Additionally, Rhamondre Stevenson, the longest-tenured back on the roster, shares similar sentiments about Henderson's explosiveness and adaptability, emphasizing the excitement around his contributions as training camp approaches.
"He's certainly fast and brings a speed element to our team. Anytime you can get guys as fast as he is it is beneficial for the whole offensive unit and special teams," said running backs coach Tony Dews.
"Explosive guy," Stevenson said. "He's learning pretty quick, and I'm excited for him."
Henderson took his talents to Ohio State and became one of the most productive running backs in school history, gaining 4,614 scrimmage yards and scoring 48 touchdowns.
Naturally, this means that the New England Patriots' running back group is less prominently featured at this point in the year.
