New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson found out the hard way during Sunday’s comeback victory over the Miami Dolphins.
The Patriots were so worried about his performance, in fact, they pulled him from a play specifically designed for… well, him.

“We had a similar play this week in practice, but it was with TreVeyon,” Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel explained on Monday, per WEEI.
New England will obviously circle back and feature their second-round rookie, but he better get that pass-protection down if he hopes for extended opportunities.
