Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson reveals what RB he's been studying
New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson revealed who he's been studying as he gets acclimated to the Patriots offense.
Here's one hint: it's a three-time Super Bowl-winning running back.
'James White. Shoot, he dang near looked like a receiver. He was a great running back here," Henderson responded, when asked what previous player he was studying to prepare for Josh McDaniels' offense, via ESPN's Mike Reiss.
Henderson has a unique blend of running ability, as well as pass-catching and blocking skills. He's a legitimate triple-threat option for the team in the offensive backfield.
White, an All-Dynasty player, was an all-around athlete who always shined in the biggest moments for the Patriots. Henderson is hoping to pick up the mantle as the next do-everything running back in New England.
One wrinkle to his game that the Patriots haven't had is the speed. Henderson is a potential home run threat every time he touches the ball. That kind of talent could ultimately help spark a Patriots offense looking to break out in 2025.

49ers GM explains why team decided to 'throttle back' on spending big in 2025 offseason
49ers GM explains why team decided to 'throttle back' on spending big in 2025 offseason It took awhile for the San Francisco 49ers to get active in this year's offseason. They made a handful of low-level free agent additions while watching several starters and key reserves leave to join other clubs. After the draft, the 49ers got busy with big-money extensions for tight end George Kittle, quarterback Brock Purdy and linebacker Fred Warner. Still, it was a strange offseason considering how willing the 49ers have been to spend money to fill holes in free agency. This year they chose to fill their more significant roster weaknesses via the draft. General manager John Lynch in an appearance on the 49ers Talk podcast explained the club's decision to 'throttle back' on their aggressiveness in free agency. "Look, we've been aggressive since Kyle (Shanahan) and I arrived here," Lynch said. "And that's what Jed and the family want to do. They want to be aggressive and we have been, but you can't just keep doing that. At some point you have to throttle back. Then we felt for the overall health of our cap and cash situation -- plus our roster in general -- you don't want to just become an aging roster. "The year before, we felt like we had such a good team. Let's keep it together, but you've got to stay young. And I think our draft last year was really good, and we had a chance with 11 picks to really add to that, and I was really excited. I thought we did a good job executing that plan." It's hard to argue that the 49ers executed their plan well. They wanted some of their less productive, expensive, aging players off the roster so they could either save money or accelerate their cap hits to this year when Purdy is still not making a ton of money against the cap. With 11 picks to supplement an eight-player class from a season ago, San Francisco has successfully made their roster younger and less expensive in the immediate future. On the other hand, whether this strategy ultimately works remains to be seen. The 49ers aren't tanking, but they're relying a lot on rookies for a club that's trying to get back to Super Bowl contention. On-field production will ultimately tell us whether the 49ers successfully executed their long-term strategy, but for now the offseason appears to have played out exactly as they expected.

49ers' Christian McCaffrey Delivers Strong Update on His Comeback Path
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for what they hope will be a major bounce-back season in 2025. After missing the playoffs last season following a Super Bowl appearance the year before, there are reasons for optimism. Last season, the 49ers dealt with major injury issues. One of the biggest was only having star running back Christian McCaffrey for four games. At the beginning of the year, McCaffrey was dealing with Achilles issues. He then suffered a knee injury after making his return to the field.

Photo byIt was a depressing season for the 29-year-old running back. He's hoping to come back strong in 2025 and get his career back on track. Read more: Vikings' JJ McCarthy Just Got a Big Update From NFL Insider McCaffrey has now spoken out with a bold message about his recovery and what has been a big help for him on his path back to the gridiron. "Being fully transparent, obviously, last year didn't go the way I wanted," McCaffrey said. "It didn't go the way anyone wanted. But having this time off has allowed me to start from scratch and have the time where I can build a base again, come into OTAs, play football and now get back into it mentally, emotionally, physically in all ways. It was much needed and I'm happy we had it." Clearly, the superstar running back has approached his offseason the right way. He seems rejuvenated and ready to get back to dominating opposing defenses. Back in the 2023 NFL season, McCaffrey put together a massive season. He carried the football 272 times for 1,459 yards and 14 touchdowns, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. In addition, he caught 67 passes for 564 yards and seven more touchdowns. Not only will McCaffrey getting back to full health be good for San Francisco, it will also help franchise quarterback Brock Purdy. He also had a down year in 2024 with opposing defenses being able to key in on the passing game.

He is clearly excited to get the season underway. Hopefully, he will be able to stay healthy throughout the entirety of the 2025 season. If he can, San Francisco could be a team to watch once again in the NFC. Only time will tell, but the 49ers seem to be trending in the right direction with McCaffrey's new status update.
