2025 NFL Mock Draft: TreVeyon Henderson NFL Draft Odds & Predictions
Folks love running back Ashton Jeanty for the 2025 NFL Draft. And so do we. He’s as close to a unanimous RB1 as we’ve had in a while. But the Debate at RB2 is not that simple. Two names have emerged at the top of that second tier. Omarion Hampton out of the University of North Carolina. And TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State.
We’ve already discussed the 2025 NFL Draft Odds & Predictions for Omarion Hampton. Now it’s time to dig in on TreVeyon Henderson. Will he be the second running back drafted? Will he be drafted in the first round? Let’s take a look at the player, the landing spots, and some of the odds with the sportsbooks!
TreVeyon Henderson NFL Draft Landing Spot
TreVeyon Henderson split work with Quinshon Judkins in college. Judkins operated as the bruiser, Henderson on pass downs. But Henderson really can do it all at the next level - at schools like Ohio State, they just have more talent and can operate like that. So his skillset does not limit his landing spot.
Any one of the RB needy teams could be in consideration. The Chicago Bears at 10 are an option as Henderson has been compared to Jahmyr Gibbs and Ben Johnson just came over from the Lions. The Dallas Cowboys at 12 are another one. The Pittsburgh Steelers lost Najee Harris and might need an RB at 21. He could also fall to one of these teams in the second round, of course.
My favorite landing spot for him for fantasy football, however, is the Denver Broncos at 20. Sean Payton and Joe Lombardi LOVE to throw the ball to the running back out of the backfield. As you can see in the tweet below, Lombardi especially has a consistently well-documented history of it. That fits Henderson’s skillset perfectly.
TreVeyon Henderson NFL Combine & Pro Day
We love to see these guys actually compete. And both Omarion Hampton and TreVeyon Henderson decided to test at the NFL Combine. Henderson absolutely crushed it as will by running a 4.43 which is 92nd percentile for a running back, per Player Profiler.
Henderson met with a lot of teams at the NFL combine, as most top backs will. The Ohio State Pro Day saw personnel from every team including head coaches from the Patriots, Steelers, Falcons, Bears, Cowboys, and Saints.
He’s had top 30 visits with teams like the Broncos, Chiefs, and Steeles while the Bengals have the luxury of visiting with any Ohio State players they want due to a rule that allows teams to visit with schools in their proximity.
TreVeyon Henderson Stats at Ohio State
Despite Henderson having to share the backfield with Quinshon Judkins for a good portion of his career, he still managed two seasons of 1,000+ rushing yards. He did that in large part due to his yards per carry of 6.8 and 7.1 yards. Averaging 80 rushing yards per game is pretty impressive alongside another back that averaged 90 yards per game rushing.
Where Henderson really excels is pass downs. Not only does he have great hands (77 receptions), but he was running real routes that earned him an 11.1 yards per route run. He was impressive in the pass-blocking game as well which coaches love at the next level.
TreVeyon Henderson Draft Odds
TreVeyon Henderson has been trending up over the last couple weeks with the books. Last week the prop “Will TreVeyon Henderson be drafted in the first round?” was available at +130. As of now, on DraftKings, the line is set at -120. I still like the play, but they are catching on.
Another way to bet on Henderson and get some more juice would be the take the bet of over 2.5 running backs drafted in the first round on DraftKings at +180. You are opening yourself up to more risk as Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, and TreVeyon Henderson would all need to be drafted in the first round.
But you also have the additional possibilities out of other backs like Kaleb Johnson or Quinshon Judkins making the leap into round one. I personally like both bets, based on my most recent mock draft.

Player News
Panthers released TE Jordan Matthews.
Matthews converted to tight end a few years ago and hasn’t made much noise at the position. The change has, however, likely kept him in the league for a few more seasons. He appeared in four games with the Panthers last year but didn’t record any stats on offense. The Panthers also released or waived WR Dax Milne, C Andrew Raym, and TE Colin Granger.
Dolphins released LS Blake Ferguson.
The team also waived CB Ryan Cooper Jr., DT Neil Farrell and OL Chasen Hines. Ferguson has been the team’s long snapper for five seasons and earned a three-year contract extension just before the 2023 season. He should be able to find work snapping footballs farther than the average snap elsewhere in the league.
DetroitLions.com’s Tim Twentyman believes rookie WR Isaac TeSlaa “could make his earliest impact on special teams.”
It’s not much of a surprise, as most rookies cut their teeth with special teams duties. Twentyman mentioned return duties as a possibility, though the former Razorback never returned kicks or punts in college. At 6'4/212 with 4.43 wheels, TeSlaa is an explosive athlete who never translated his physical traits to on-field production at Arkansas. The Lions clearly saw potential for him to do so in the pros and traded two future third-round picks to move up to No. 70 overall for him. It’s going to be a slow burn for TeSlaa in the pros, making him a dynasty-only fantasy option.
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said the team does not “have any feelings on competition” when asked about the quarterback room.
O’Connell was asked about a potential quarterback competition on the Rich Eisen Show Wednesday and was unclear on whether J.J. McCarthy would have to compete to start. He said, “we’ve got an obligation as coaches to put our players in position to attack that competition phase.” O’Connell discussed first putting Brett Rypien and the newly acquired Sam Howell in a position to play before any competition would occur. He continued that McCarthy is “owning it” this offseason and is taking snaps from starting center Ryan Kelly. After missing last season with a torn meniscus, McCarthy has been ramping up workouts in the offseason and is the front-runner to start for the Vikings in 2025. As of now, Howell looks to be reinforcement at the backup spot in case it turns out McCarthy is not ready to start.
Texans re-signed DT Foley Fatukasi.
Fatukasi initially joined the Texans last offseason on a one-year contract. The 30-year-old was a rotational defensive lineman, tallying four tackles for loss and one sack. He returns to Houston for 2025, where he will be a part of a deep Texans front seven.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Tyreek Hill’s second wrist surgery was part of the original plan and his timeline remains unchanged.
Hill announced the second surgery on social media and Pelissero quickly added some context to the situation. The speedy receiver suffered the wrist injury just before the start of the season and it lingered throughout the year, though he never missed a game because of it. If the second surgery truly is a non-story, an offseason to recover might be what Hill needs to return to form after a down 2024 season. On the other hand, Hill is 31 years old, played his worst football last year, and his offense prioritized targets for Jonnu Smith and De’Von Achane. As it stands, Hill might have the highest risk-reward split in fantasy drafts.
