A pair of 2025 New England Patriots draft selections got another call in January.
Running back TreVeyon Henderson and kicker Andy Borregales have been named to the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-Rookie team, the organization announced Tuesday.
Henderson, 23, landed in Foxborough in the second round of April’s NFL draft at No. 38 overall. From there, the national champion by way of the Ohio State Buckeyes totaled 911 rushing yards, 221 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns through 215 offensive touches
during his debut regular season. He led all rookies with 5.1 rushing yards per attempt, while ranking second in the class with nine rushing touchdowns and 1,132 scrimmage yards.
Along the way, November’s NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month became the third newcomer in league history to break off four ground scores of 50-plus yards. Henderson is accompanied in the All-Rookie backfield by New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough and Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty.
Borregales, 23, made his way to Gillette Stadium in the sixth round at No. 182 overall. The former Miami Hurricanes specialist converted on 27-of-32 field goals and 53-of-55 extra points over the course of the regular season with the AFC East champions. A game-winning 52-yarder against the Buffalo Bills and a career-long 59-yarder against the Miami Dolphins were among them. In between, the rookie kicker earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after splitting the uprights for four field goals and two extra points versus the Cincinnati Bengals in November.
Borregales, who has since accounted for 14 points in the playoffs, is joined in the All-Rookie kicking game by Denver Broncos punter Jeremy Crawshaw, Tennessee Titans kickoff and punt returner Chimere Dike, as well as Pittsburgh Steelers core linebacker Carson Bruener.
The PFWA has conducted voting for an All-Rookie team since 1974. Seven NFL clubs each had multiple All-Rookie selections this cycle. And in all, 20 clubs were represented on the roster of 27 spots.
Last year, no Patriots made the All-Rookie team. Honorees from previous campaigns included punter Bryce Baringer in 2023, punt returner Marcus Jones and special teamer Brenden Schooler in 2022, quarterback Mac Jones and defensive tackle Christian Barmore in 2021, as well as guard Mike Onwenu in 2020.
For 2025, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan took home PFWA Rookie of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year. On the other side of the ball, Cleveland Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger secured Defensive Rookie of the Year.
