Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson still needs work in pass protection
Patriots insiders say TreVeyon Henderson's pass-blocking remains a concern that could limit his third-down usage.
Running back TreVeyon Henderson logged 911 yards and nine scores on 180 attempts in his first season. While his rushing output has been solid, a Patriots one outlet highlighted ongoing difficulties in pass protection. The team may limit his snaps on third down until he improves in that area. Analysts note that his size contributes to the challenge, but the coaching staff remains cautious about his role in certain packages. Outside of the blocking issue, there are few other complaints about the 23-year-old's play, and optimism persists about his development.
Why it matters
Pass-blocking issues could affect the Patriots' offensive flexibility and Henderson's role.
