TreVeyon Henderson has arrived.
After a slow start to the season for the second-round rookie, Henderson put up five touchdowns in five days while filling in for the injured Rhamondre Stevenson.
Henderson has been so good that he may have overtaken the starting job from Stevenson, who has missed the last three games.
After he ran for 147 yards and two touchdowns last week in a win over the Buccaneers, Henderson totaled __ yards on __ touches Thursday night for three touchdowns (two of them rushing, one of them receiving).
Henderson this season has been the outside, big-play threat for the Patriots’ running game, but he showed he’s plenty capable running between the tackles on Thursday night.
It’s unclear if Stevenson will be healthy enough to play in the Patriots’ Week 12 games in Cincinnati, but Henderson has given the coaching staff plenty to think about as they manage the depth chart.
