Brady-to-Harry combination will grow

Rob Gronkowski is not walking through that door or at least on the field, so who will Tom Brady throw to besides the ever-reliable security blanket known as Julian Edelman?

Well, running back James White will likely pick up some of the slack, but eventually first-round draft pick N’Keal Harry will become the big target on the outside Brady will come to rely on.

List at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, the Arizona State product has both the skills and the athletic ability to flourish catching the ball from Brady, but whether he will make an impact immediately will be the burning question to start the season.

A lot of how quickly he becomes a factor will depend on how well he adjusts, but by midseason, the N’Keal Harry and Tom Brady connection will take off as the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback will start to trust his new, big target more and more into the season.

With that confidence, Harry will put up more than respectable numbers in his rookie season and by the end of the season, the New England Patriots will have quite the receiving duo in Julian Edelman and N’Keal Harry.

Of course, Tom Brady’s individual numbers will benefit from that production.
