Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson's real reason for jersey number choice
New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson revealed the real reason why he wears the No. 32 jersey. According to Henderson, his grandfather wore that same jersey number when he played football. Henderson chose to pick up the number after his grandfather passed away to carry on the legacy and honor the name. He has done a tremendous job of both so far in his young career. He helped the Ohio State Buckeyes win a national championship in his final college season, and he went on to be selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft. 'I've been wearing No. 32 pretty much since Little League," said Henderson. "My granddad, he was a great running back, and he used to wear number 32. He passed away, and so I wear it to carry on his legacy and make my mom proud. Last year, winning the national championship in his number 32, that's my favorite memory.' Henderson will look to continue his rise in the running back ranks in his first NFL season. He's an explosive playmaker who has made an immediate impact on the field in the spring practices. What Henderson is capable of doing with the ball in his hands will add a legitimate home run threat to the Patriots' offense. That extra spark could be exactly what the struggling unit needs to finally turn things around. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
