considering Henderson flashed enough speed and skill as a rookie, and considering the team brought in a real fullback in Reggie Gilliam, it's fair to expect a leap for Henderson in year two. There's reason to believe he ends up getting the lion's share of snaps and touches out of the backfield for New England in 2026.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Henderson projected to earn lion's share of snaps in year two with improved confidence.

The source projects Henderson to take a leap in year two after flashing speed and skill as a rookie. His confidence was identified as his biggest hindrance late in the year, which the coaching staff can improve. With the team bringing in fullback Reggie Gilliam, there's reason to believe Henderson ends up getting the lion's share of snaps and touches out of the backfield for New England in 2026, though he must first prove improvement in needed areas before leapfrogging the six-year veteran Stevenson.
