Henderson was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He got off to a slow start , but began to find a groove in New England ’s offense, particularly during Rhamondre Stevenson’s absence due to injury.
The 23-year-old made Patriots history in December against the Buffalo Bills when his second rushing touchdown of the game put him at four for the season of at least 50 yards — the most by any player in Patriots franchise history.
Henderson amassed 911 yards and nine touchdowns while playing in all 17 regular season games.
The winner will be selected by a fan vote. Voting ends Jan. 30.
