4. N’Keal Harry

On size and talent alone, New England Patriots first-round pick N’Keal Harry projects to be one of the team’s top offensive threats.

However, much of what Harry does in 2019 will depend on the chemistry and trusts he forms with Tom Brady.

So far, the elder quarterback and young rookie wide receiver have been putting in the extra work it takes aside from the practice field to make sure that happens.

Unless Josh Gordon is reinstated before the start of the season, expect Harry to be that outside threat in the passing game the team has been searching for.  Similar to Gordon, the Arizona State product has the ability and size to outwork defenders for the football, which may lead to Brady looking his way more as the season goes on.

A lot of pressure on the first-round draft pick?

There will be some, but as long as Julian Edelman also shares the field, N’Keal Harry will have time to find his way in the offense.  With Josh Gordon being the X-factor in the New England Patriots offense, Harry may thrive during his rookie season as a third receiving option.

Whatever ends up being the case, expect Harry to have some impact during the season. He is too physically talented not to.
