Hannable: N’Keal Harry may be better off with Jarrett Stidham as his quarterback, not Tom Brady

N’Keal Harry’s rookie season has been well-documented.

It wasn’t the greatest, as he only played in seven games due to starting the year on injured reserve and finished with just 12 catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns.

In a draft that produced Deebo Samuel, D.K. Metcalf, Terry McLaurin and A.J. Brown after Round 1, the Patriots deservingly were criticized for selecting Harry in the first round. It was also the first time in the Bill Belichick era the Patriots selected a receiver in the first round.

While a hamstring injury suffered during training camp was the biggest reason for Harry’s subpar rookie season, it also seemed like he could never get on the same page as Tom Brady.
