Patriots Secure Rising Star TreVeyon Henderson: What This Means for Their Championship Hopes

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Patriots signed running back TreVeyon Henderson on Friday.

Henderson was the 38th overall pick in the draft and word of his agreement comes after 37th pick Jonah Savaiinaea and 39th pick Luther Burden agreed to their own fully guaranteed deals. No second-round pick had received a fully guaranteed contract until this year, but every player picked 33rd-39th who has agreed to a deal has now received those guarantees.Henderson ran 144 times for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns while helping Ohio State to a national title last year. It’s not every day you see rookie contracts get the royal treatment, especially for second-round picks, but this year? It’s a whole different ballgame. TreVeyon Henderson, snagged 38th overall, just inked a fully guaranteed deal with the Patriots—adding to the wave of second-rounders cashing in guaranteed contracts like never before. This new trend kicked off with pick number 37 and hasn’t skipped a beat since, covering everyone from 33rd through 39th. Oh, and for a bit of context—Henderson smashed through defenses with over 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, powering Ohio State to a national championship. It’s clear the investment reflects more than just promise; it’s a nod to proven grit. LEARN MOREAnother 2025 second-round pick has landed a fully guaranteed rookie deal.
