Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson gives New England something it was lacking image

TreVeyon Henderson should be a breath of fresh air in New England.

The Patriots haven't had a player like him in years.

That's why The Athletic's Chad Graff puts Henderson atop his training camp watchlist.

"He brings obvious speed and a big-play ability to a Patriots offense that has lacked juice in recent years," Graff writes. "Plus he does it all, spending time this spring as a kickoff returner, passing target and running back. He’ll be a ton of fun to watch."

Henderson's explosiveness was clear from the moment he broke out as an Ohio State freshman.

He continued to show that big-play ability throughout his Buckeyes career, paired with a solid consistency to his game between-the-tackles, too.

He only got to split work in the national championship season with Quinshon Judkins, and both went in the second round.

Now, Henderson has to contend with Rhamondre Stevenson. Given Henderson's overwhelming talent, he has a chance to shed that competition just like he sheds tacklers.
