Patriots' Tight End Reveals His Role in New-Look Offense

The one difference: The Patriots have an almost entirely new coaching staff. So what will Henry's role look like on New England's new-look offense?

Henry's specific role is still unclear as it's very early in the offseason, but the Patriots' tight end will remain a focal point in the offense.

Henry spent his first season in New England while offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was still in his previous stint with the team. Henry had one of the best years of his career, catching 50 passes for 603 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns.

"It's a lot of similar things, and it's kind of like getting back into it, hearing the verbiage again," Henry told Carlos A. Lopez. "Kind of getting a feeling for things a little bit and seeing things. Working through it with Drake (Maye). Obviously it's different in how he sees things. We've added a few new flavors to the offense a little bit, so it's been good."

McDaniels will have the veteran Henry alongside the Patriots' big free agent signing Stefon Diggs, with his slot receiver DeMario Douglas, along with a list of other young, talented options to work with.

New England's offense is still developing with Maye in his sophomore season, but don't be surprised if Henry builds on his impressive 2024 season in 2025.
