Mike Vrabel Drafts 3,761-Yard Weapon for Drake Maye As RB’s Ohio State Teammate Signs $5.15B Franchise

Move over, apple pie—New England’s cooking up a new American classic. The 2025 NFL Draft just served a double scoop of Buckeye brilliance, and the Patriots are holding the cherry on top.

Mike Vrabel’s Patriots snagged Ohio State dynamo TreVeyon Henderson at No. 38, pairing Drake Maye with a 3,761-yard human highlight reel. Henderson’s 4.43 speed isn’t just fast—it’s “home run speed,” as scouts raved, making him a threat to score faster than a Nathan’s hot dog champ.

Meanwhile, Cleveland grabbed Henderson’s Buckeye teammate Quinshon Judkins at No. 36, adding a 1,060-yard bulldozer fresh off a national title. Judkins’ 86-yard sprint vs. Marshall last year? Longer than a Field of Dreams monologue. Henderson’s vision?

It’s a run on Ohio State running backs: Quinshon Judkins to the #Browns at No. 36, then TreVeyon Henderson to the #Patriots two picks later.

Think LeBron threading a no-look pass. His patience? But here’s the catch: durability concerns linger. Two injury-marred seasons at Ohio State mean New England might use him like a vintage Patriots RB committee—sparingly but lethally.

Still, his 38.5-inch vertical and 10’8” broad jump scream upside. For Maye, it’s Christmas in April: a backfield weapon to turn checkdowns into fireworks.

This story is unfolding—stay locked in for the latest.
