Could TreVeron Henderson be the pick in the second round?
We continue our 2025 NFL Draft preview of draft prospects that could interest the Dallas Cowboys. Today we are looking at running back TreVeyon Henderson out of Ohio State.
Height: 5-foot-10
Weight: 202-lbs
Arm Length: 30 3/4”
Hand Size: 9 1/2”
Strengths:
+ Explosive back with the ability to hit the home run consistently
+ Limited tread on the tires leads to a long career projection
+ Balance and power between the tackles is impressive for his size
+ High IQ runner with a good feel for attack angles
+ Three-down ability is evident on tape with his rushing, receiving, and pass blocking skills
+ Short-area quickness shines in his elusiveness
+ Trustworthy as a pass catcher that has a good feel for route running and soft zones
+ High-character guy that will be loved by coaches, scouts, and teammates
Weaknesses:
– Smaller build back that could struggle to carry an every down back workload
– Had multiple lower body injuries in college that limited his playing time in 2023 and 2022
– Showed impressive power at OSU, but his size may limit his after contact ability in the NFL
– Posted only one year of high-end production at Ohio State
– Benefitted from quality offensive line play, quarterback play, and wide receiver play to limit loaded boxes
Round Grade:
2nd
Overall Summary:
TreVeyon Henderson never took over a true RB1 role at Ohio State, but he has the skill set to do so in the NFL. Henderson is a true three-down back, with the ability to impact the game as a runner, receiver, and pass protector. Despite his lack of size, Henderson offers plenty of power, explosiveness, and big-play ability that is desperately needed in the Cowboys backfield heading into the draft. Henderson is a potential option at 44 if he is there, but more than likely will not last until the Cowboys pick in the third round.
RAS Score:
8.82
