New England Patriots: 5 players to watch in first game of 2020
By Sam Minton
N’Keal Harry
With the Patriots getting rid of Mohamed Sanu, the wide receiver group for 2020 isn’t looking so great. The lack of depth could be a problem as the season progresses.
When Sanu was cut it did show one thing. New England must believe in N’Keal Harry.
Harry is now the team’s second wide receiver on the depth chart he should see a steep increase and targets and will have a major impact on the offense.
New England’s offense seems to be perfect for Harry. He has a quarterback who will trust him and actually throw him the ball. Also, Newton has the arm strength to hit Harry with the deep ball. Harry and Newton could become a dangerous duo.
Week One will be crucial for Harry. He needs to get off to a good start and show that the Patriots made the right decision trusting him.
There is no doubt that the Patriots will need Harry to perform much better than he did in 2019. If he doesn’t New England’s offense could struggle mightily. That’s why it’s important for Harry to get off to a good start against the Dolphins.
