New England Patriots: N’Keal Harry impressive so far
By Sam Minton
N’Keal Harry appears to be doing everything right at New England Patriots minicamp as he is turning heads and making a great first impression.
The winner of minicamp so far for the New England Patriots has to be N’Keal Harry. All you have been hearing about is how good he is.
Patriots minicamp concluded on Thursday. The team will be celebrating as they get their Super Bowl LIII rings at a party thrown by owner Robert Kraft.

Harry has already had to deal with high expectations. The New England Patriots aren’t exactly known for taking wide receivers in the 1st round of the NFL Draft. New England’s last 1 round pick was Terry Glenn back in 1996.
So far we have only heard great things about Harry. He made the catch of the day on Wednesday and his teammates seem to love him.
Julian Edelman said that he is “a big kid who works hard,” and Stephon Gilmore spoke about what it was like to go up against Harry on the field.
"“He’s a big guy,” Gilmore said, per The Athletic’s Jeff Howe. “I pressed him one time and tried to get my hands on him, and he threw them down. He’s really strong. He’s just got to keep working. He’s got great coaches and great players around him. It’s not easy for any of us. But if he keeps working, he’ll be in the right place when it’s time.”"
I think that Harry will have an impact right away. He has been working with Tom Brady and if Harry gets on his good side he could be seeing a lot of balls go his way.
Like his teammates mentioned, the thing that sticks out about Harry is his size. That is something that the Patriots haven’t had in a while. The last true deep threat that the New England Patriots had was Randy Moss.
Harry could be the deep threat that the Patriots have been looking for. I can picture Tom Brady lofting a ball up and Harry going up and grabbing it in the end zone already. Patriots fans are going to love this guy.
Hopefully N’Keal Harry can live up to the mighty expectations that have been set before him.
