TreVeyon Henderson
October 22, 2002 – present
NFL Running Back
A running back who keeps redirecting attention away from himself and toward Jesus
Biography
American football running back who starred at Ohio State, helped lead the Buckeyes to a national title, and was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2025. He is known both for explosive playmaking and for unusually direct public talk about Jesus.
Faith & Testimony
Henderson has given repeated, explicit public testimony about Jesus Christ in both college and pro settings. He has said, 'I can't do what I do without God,' that 'the only thing that matters is what God says about you,' and that 'our faith in Jesus Christ, that's what truly helped' him and his team. In major press settings he has spoken about prayer, worship, denying himself, carrying his cross, and his need for Christ's strength, even saying, 'Without Jesus, I truly am weak.' His witness is clearly more than generic gratitude language, and his public testimony has remained visible across multiple seasons.
