“The New England Patriots are gearing up for a high-stakes Divisional Round matchup against C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans, but there’s more exciting news out of Foxborough! Running back TreVeyon Henderson has been named a finalist for the 2025 Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year award, alongside other standout rookies. Henderson has been a force on offense for New England, racking up 1,132 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns in his first season.

Despite tough competition, Henderson’s explosive season has made him a serious contender for the honor, though Panthers’ Tetairoa McMillan is currently the favorite after his impressive performances in both the regular season and playoffs. Henderson’s contributions, along with MVP candidate Drake Maye’s stellar play, have helped push the Patriots toward a potential Super Bowl run, with only two wins standing between them and a trip to Santa Clara, California.

Speaking of Maye, despite an incredible sophomore season and being in the MVP conversation, he was snubbed for a First-Team All-Pro selection, with Matthew Stafford taking the spot. But no worries—Maye still earned Second-Team All-Pro honors, and with his leadership and dual-threat ability, he’s ready to lead the Patriots through the postseason.

With both Henderson and Maye playing at such a high level, the Patriots are more than ready for their upcoming clash with the Texans. Can they keep this momentum going and make a Super Bowl run? Let us know what you think in the comments and follow for more updates!”
