The Patriots had some internal debate on who to select at No. 38, but they wound up drafting TreVeyon Henderson.

FOXBORO — When the Patriots called Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson to share they had drafted him early in the second round Friday night, no one was more surprised than Henderson.

Beyond his impact on the field, Henderson marks another high character addition to New England’s locker room. A team captain on Ohio State’s National Championship Team last year, Henderson is now ready to make an impact on the Patriots new culture under Vrabel.
