In a young offense full of developing talent, Hunter Henry continues to be the steady hand that keeps everything together. The veteran tight end has been Drake Maye's security blanket on third downs, and his importance to this team can't be overstated.
Henry leads all Patriots pass-catchers in third-down receptions and has a first-down conversion rate that ranks among the top tight ends in the league. He may not have the flashiest stat line, but his impact on sustaining drives is immeasurable.
Veterans like Henry are what help young quarterbacks develop. Maye knows that when the pressure comes, he can find 85 over the middle for a big gain. That trust and reliability is the foundation of an offense.
Keep doing your thing, Hunter. Pats Nation sees you and appreciates every clutch catch.
