Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson Continues to Struggle in One Key Area, Per Report
The Patriots youngster will need to figure that out to stay on the field.
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson continues to face challenges in pass protection, according to a recent report. During his rookie season, Henderson showcased his skills with 911 yards on 180 carries and nine touchdowns. However, there have been instances where he was benched during crucial moments, such as on third downs.
The underlying issue is that Henderson still struggles with pass protection, which could lead to his exclusion from the game on those critical plays. Patriots insider Chad Graff noted that while Henderson's overall performance remains strong, his pass protection skills are a significant concern. Pass protection is particularly crucial for a running back of Henderson's size, and it's not surprising to hear that he grapples with this skill.
The Patriots are likely to be cautious with their set selections for Henderson to minimize the risk. Despite these hurdles, there is still optimism surrounding Henderson's development and potential for further improvement.
