The New England Patriots’ recent history with early-round wide receivers is a complicated one. While the hits have been few and far between, the misses have been damaging. And no player personifies that more than N’Keal Harry.
A first-round draft pick out of Arizona State in 2019, Harry lasted only three seasons of 35 total games with the team; he caught merely 57 passes for 619 yards and four touchdowns before he was traded to the Chicago Bears in 2022. Harry, who had an enticing athletic makeup but some challenging limitations, remains a cautionary tale in New England.
