New England Patriots: 5 players who will bounce back in 2021 – No.3: N’Keal Harry

Another terrible draft bust for the Patriots has to be N’Keal Harry. At least Michel performed well in the Super Bowl. Harry has never been able to string together successful games.

Harry had all the tools to succeed in 2020. Newton seemed to like the wide receiver and wanted him to succeed, but once again Harry underperformed.

In 2020, Harry produced better numbers than he did in 2019, but let’s remember that Brady was not throwing him the ball on purpose. Even with Newton trying his best to help Harry out, the wideout was only able to tally 33 catches for 309 yards and two touchdowns.

In 2021, Harry needs to rack up at least 500 yards. This will show that the Patriots might actually have something to work with.

If not, Harry could end up just like Michel. They both could not be on the roster after 2021.

So similarly to Michel, Patriots fans should expect Harry to have a much better season. He needs to perform or New England will be forced to move on from the wideout.
