TreVeyon Henderson’s pass blocking in his senior season at Ohio State was so good that it was publicly praised by the general manager of an NFL team that didn’t even draft him.
The New England Patriots drafted Henderson with the No. 38 overall pick in Round 2 of the 2025 NFL draft, seven picks before the Indianapolis Colts – who drafted Henderson’s Ohio State teammate JT Tuimoloau instead – would have had the chance to draft Henderson with their second-round pick. Yet even though Henderson went to one of the Colts’ AFC rivals, Colts general manager Chris Ballard went out of his way to praise Henderson’s pass-blocking ability during his post-draft press conference on Saturday.
