The 38th overall selection in this year’s draft was not spotted on Friday.
The New England Patriots’ drafted and undrafted rookies as well as multiple tryout players were back at Gillette Stadium on Saturday for the second day of their minicamp. Among them was running back TreVeyon Henderson, who had missed Friday’s session for undisclosed reasons.
While media was not allowed into WIN Waste Field House on Saturday, the Patriots confirmed Henderson’s presence on social media:

Henderson, 22, was selected 38th overall by the Patriots in last month’s draft.
A big-play threat as both a runner and a receiver at Ohio State, as well as an excellent pass protector, he finished his college career with 590 carries for 3,761 yards and 42 touchdowns as well as 77 receptions for 853 yards and 6 more scores. Henderson averaged 6.9 yards per touch over the course of his four-year tenure in Columbus.
Given his versatile skillset and scheme flexibility, New England decided to invest a second-round draft choice in Henderson despite already having Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson under contract at the running back position. The youngster projects as a complementary three-down option alongside the two veterans.
With Henderson missing the first rookie minicamp session on Friday, Lan Larison saw the bulk of the work in the backfield. An undrafted free agent whose signing was confirmed earlier that day, Larison entered the NFL as UC Davis’ all-time leader in career all-purpose yards.
The Patriots will close out their 2025 rookie minicamp on Sunday. They will enter the third phase of their offsesaon workout program next week.
