Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson 2025 NFL Draft Profile

Weaknesses

• Injury History: Henderson has continuously had injuries he's dealt with. He missed five games in 2022 with a broken bone in his foot and time in 2023 with an undisclosed injury. Will his injury history prevent him from being a top back?
• Breakaway Speed: Henderson is a bigger back with some home run ability. As a true freshman, he displayed a lot of long runs with 34 of 10+ and 15 of 15+ yards. Those have improved overall with his decreased workload, but he shows some tendency to get caught down the field by defensive backs. This is less of a weakness and more of an inconsistency.
• Pass Catching: Henderson has not had much of an opportunity to work as a receiver and when he does, there isn't much of a diverse route tree to work with. He will have some growing pains in that department at the next level, but there is talent to work with, including his background at wide receiver in high school.

Player Evaluation

Henderson came to Ohio State as a heralded five-star recruit. He was great as a true freshman, logging 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns. Since then, eh's dealt with some injuries and his touches haven't rebounded.

What we have seen with his timeshare in the Buckeyes backfield with Quinshon Judkins is a return of that explosiveness he displayed as a true freshman. The Big question for his NFL potential is whether or not he can be relied upon as the top back in the backfield or needs to be the second option.

Player Comparison

Chris Carson
Carson was similar to Henderson in that they are somewhat bigger backs who can play on all three downs. There is some home run ability there, but success in the intermediate levels of the field will be his bread and butter.
