Patriots Hall of Famer Troy Brown says second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson needs to change his approach, particularly by showing more patience. The advice comes as Henderson continues to struggle to make the explosive plays expected of him in New England’s offense. He was projected as a home-run hitter, but had recorded just one play of at least 15 yards during the season described. That gap has raised questions about whether the Patriots have a problem with the young running back. Brown’s assessment focused on the need for Henderson to be more patient rather than pressing for a big gain. Henderson’s struggles have continued as New England works to find consistency. The Patriots recently lost to the Chicago Bears, 30 to 24. Brown’s advice also involved a comparison with Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker, as Henderson looks to turn his potential into more impactful plays.
