Ohio State Coach Has Strong Opinion About What Patriots Are Getting in TreVeyon Henderson

When the New England Patriots drafted TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft, they knew they were getting a special talent. The former Ohio State Buckeyes standout has shown off elite skill on the ground, through the air, and as a blocker in the backfield.

To support young franchise quarterback Drake Maye, the Patriots wanted to bring in a player who could take pressure off of him. Henderson can do just that in three different ways at a very high level.

Not only is Henderson geared with an elite skill-set, he also has other skills that will impact New England in a positive way.

Ohio State running back's coach Carlos Locklyn spoke out about Henderson. He had a lot of praise to share about the new Patriots' running back.

"I've had a lot of backs in my career and TreVeyon is the best leader I've ever been around," Locklyn said. "My wife, my kids … they absolutely love him. He's a hard worker. Everything about him is what you want in a person. He's just a great man. He embraces his teammates. He was always doing things with the younger backs, going out to eat together and things like that. He's a strong believer in the fellowship of being together. It's not all about him. He always says it's for the love of my brother. That's what makes him such a great pass protector. He'll play for 10 years and be a great organization guy, great in the community."
