New England Patriots: N’Keal Harry making a name for himself
By Sam Minton
So far at training camp the star of the show has been New England Patriots first-round draft pick N’Keal Harry.
When the New England Patriots drafted N’Keal Harry in the first round you knew he must have been a special player. So far at training camp he is proving to be just that.
The Patriots aren’t exactly known for drafting wide receivers in the first round. Even as a whole, New England’s track record with picking pass catchers hasn’t gone well.

Harry is the first wide receiver selected in the first round by Bill Belichick in his entire coaching tenure in New England.
In training camp, Harry has shown off his athleticism and pass-catching abilities. Harry got some work in with Tom Brady and looked like someone who belonged on the field.
You would have thought that he was a veteran returning for yet another camp. Fans got to see Harry leap above defenders and make some great catches.
If Harry continues to play like this he will have a major impact on the New England Patriots offense. He could be a top receiver on the depth chart.
Harry’s height and athleticism will be something that Tom Brady takes advantage off. He will finally have a deep ball threat to throw to.
It might be early, but I have high expectations for Harry. We saw what Tom Brady could do with Randy Moss. Harry might not be on that level yet, but he is a playmaker.
The real test will be when the preseason starts. We need to see what Harry can do against guys who are fighting for their NFL lives. I don’t think Patriots fans will be disappointed.
This season N’Keal Harry has the ability to take New England by storm and possibly be the rookie of the year.
