Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson says hello to the NFL in incredible touchdown style image

Welcome to the NFL, TreVeyon Henderson.

Really, it's an emphatic hello from the New England Patriots' rookie running back to the rest of the league.

The Pats played their preseason opener on Friday night. They received the opening kickoff. Henderson was back deep.

And on the first touch of his NFL career, Henderson took the kickoff to the house.

Magical.

The No. 38 overall pick, Henderson was a superstar at Ohio State from the moment he showed up on campus as a freshman.

He's explosive with the ball in his hands, clearly.

It's not obvious yet how much of an RB role Henderson will have as a rookie behind the established Rhamondre Stevenson. Henderson aligns much better with the timeline of quarterback Drake Maye, who is entering his second NFL season.

If he keeps doing stuff like this, though, Henderson will give the Patriots no choice but to keep putting him on the field.

And apparently, you better not take your eyes off of kickoffs when he's back deep, because he can house them.

Henderson is special. Buy stock now. It's only going up.
