TreVeyon Henderson NFL Draft Hub: 2025 Mock Draft, Scouting Report, and Projections For the Ohio State RB

Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson is facing Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff National Championship tonight, giving him another chance to help his NFL Draft stock.

After a strong season, Henderson is widely regarded as one of the top running backs in the 2025 NFL Draft. Let’s examine his scouting report, Mock Draft Simulator trends, and where he went in our latest mock draft.

TreVeyon Henderson Scouting Report

• Height: 5’10”
• Weight: 208 pounds
• Position: Running Back
• School: Ohio State
• Current Year: Senior

Throughout his football career, Henderson has confirmed himself to be a prodigy at the running back position. At Hopewell High School in Virginia, he rushed for over 4,000 yards and 50 touchdowns in his career. Even with his senior season canceled by COVID-19, he was a five-star recruit.

As a true freshman at Ohio State — the school that produced Ezekiel Elliott, J.K. Dobbins, Carlos Hyde, and others — Henderson started 11 of 13 games played. And in just his third career game at the collegiate level, he broke Archie Griffin’s single-game rushing yardage record.

In that legendary true freshman season, Henderson amassed 1,248 rushing yards and 15 rushing TDs on 183 carries, while also catching 27 passes for 316 yards and four scores. A foot injury limited Henderson to just eight games in 2022, but in 2023, he bounced back with 1,155 total yards and 11 TDs on the ground. This season,

Whenever Henderson is on the field and at 100%, he makes a difference.

Henderson’s durability will be the biggest variable regarding his ultimate draft capital, but if teams clear him on medical checks, there’s no reason he can’t be an early-round pick and an impact player on his first NFL contract.

At 5’10”, 208 pounds, Henderson perfectly fits the mold of the dynamic two-phase, three-down modern NFL weapon. As a runner, Henderson is a forward-pressing brawler with the twitch to warp spatial relationships and the tenacity to capitalize. As a receiver, he’s a diverse RAC threat who can be employed in various ways. His speed and explosiveness serve as central traits across both realms.

Henderson would have been a candidate for RB1 on my board had he declared for the 2024 NFL Draft. He’ll have steeper competition in 2025, but his profile is still very complete, with the top-end physical qualities to imply dynamic upside.

Because Henderson translates better when he’s tasked with efficiently working upfield, he’d likely fit best in inside zone, gap, and counter schemes. Yet, his speed ensures that he can provide value in wide and outside-zone concepts as well. Henderson’s receiving ability will also make him a weapon on later downs right from Day 1.

The biggest question for Henderson and his NFL projection is whether he can stay healthy and for how long. He has struggled to play a full season. Still, even if a team only gets one full contract out of him at peak form, he can be an electric weapon over that time span.

Latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft Projection

Henderson’s current ADP in Pro Football Network’s Mock Draft Simulator is 69.5.

Users controlling the Cleveland Browns are selecting him with 1.5% of their draft picks. The next highest percentage of selections for Henderson are 1.2% of Las Vegas Raiders’ users.

Here is how Henderson’s ADP data has changed over time:

In PFN’s latest seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft , Henderson is projected to get picked No. 55 overall by the Los Angeles Chargers.

Here’s what PFN’s Dalton Miller had to say about the projected pick: “Jim Harbaugh saw how special Henderson was playing on the opposite sideline from him at Michigan early in Henderson’s college career. That outrageous explosiveness returned in 2024.

“He also might be the best pass protector in the past half-decade to come from the collegiate ranks for the position, and the Texas game proved he’s devastating with the ball in his hands as a pass catcher.”

Henderson is the No. 25 player on Miller’s Top 100 NFL Draft Big Board : “The nature of TreVeyon Henderson’s injury history might keep him from a draft slot in the top 50, but his on-field ability is worthy of the hype. He’s an incredible pass protector, and he possesses the kind of home-run-hitting long speed that the NFL desperately searches for because of the importance of creating explosive plays.”
