When the story of the 2019 New England Patriots gets written, Damien Harris will come up only as a footnote. Despite being selected in the third round of the draft last spring, the Alabama product saw only minimal action during his rookie season while serving as the last layer of depth on one of the deepest running back groups in the NFL.
Heading into his second year in the Patriots’ system, however, Harris seems determined to change his status.
The circumstances certainly favor him in this regard, and have allowed him to become one of the team’s most impressive players through the first two days of full-pads training camp sessions this summer.
