TreVeyon Henderson said he had no contact with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel during the pre-draft process.
The only New England coach he spoke with was first-year running backs coach Tony Dews on Zoom.
Needless to say, Henderson was caught off guard when the Patriots selected him 38th overall.
“I had no clue that New England was going to be the spot,” he told reporters Friday. “It was definitely a surprise for me.”
Henderson, 22, may not have met with Vrabel before the draft. However, they have something in common: Both are Ohio State products.
