New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson will soon receive a lifetime supply of Pepsi Zero Sugar.

I’d imagine that’s what happens when you win rookie of the week, anyway…

Henderson was officially named Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week for Week 13, beating out Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai, Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey, Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins, New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough and Carolina Panthers safety Lathan Ransom.

Henderson continued a strong stretch with his 86-yard, 14-touch performance in Monday’s victory over the New York Giants — giving him 824 total yards on 129 rushes and 32 catches, as well as six total touchdowns, during his rookie season.

The Patriots have been quite popular with regard to weekly awards this season, with running back Antonio Gibson (Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 2), cornerback Marcus Jones (Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 4), linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson (Defensive Player of the Week in Week 7), kicker Andres Borregales (Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 12) and quarterback Drake Maye (Offensive Player of the Week in Week 13) all being rewarded for their individual performances this season.

Who’s next?
