TreVeyon Henderson | RB | Ohio State

Height: 5’10”
Weight: 208 lbs
Draft Projection: Day 2
Notable Accomplishment: Voted first-team all-Big Ten by coaches and media (2023)

Pros: Henderson is a true speed threat at running back who can break any run off and take it to the house. With impressive vision and decisiveness, Henderson hits the hole with purpose, and he gets through the hole incredibly quick, making it difficult for defensive linemen to disengage in time to bring him down at the first level of the defense. Once he gets to the second level, he relies on his outstanding elusiveness and ability to make defenders miss. Despite not having elite size, Henderson finds creative ways to gain yards after contact. He displays incredible balance and navigation through traffic, and he makes quick, clean cuts upfield, thanks to his impressive footwork. He was not used heavily as a pass catcher at Ohio State, but he has been sufficient in that regard, and he could definitely be in play for a larger receiving role in the NFL.

Cons: Henderson is smart in goal line situations as it pertains to being patient for his linemen to create space for him, but he does not possess great power. Unless he is behind an elite offensive line unit, he could find himself rather ineffective in short-yardage situations. In the right scheme, I believe Henderson could remain in the 205-210 pound range and be a full-time starter, but if he wants to withstand the physicality of the NFL game and not be worn down as easily, adding a little more weight to his frame will be necessary. My biggest flag with Henderson, however, comes in pass protection. Henderson lacks the awareness and technique to fend off opposing pass rushers, which greatly limits his value on 3rd downs.

Overview: Henderson’s collegiate success leads me to believe he has starter potential at the next level, but until he can be more valuable than dead weight as a pass protector, his opportunities on 3rd downs will be limited. His value to a team in Year 1 will be as a speedy change-of-pace option, and beyond that, his success will largely be determined by schematic fit and his development as a runner in between the tackles.
