First-round pick N’Keal Harry made a strong first impression. Physically, he just looks different on the field with a degree of athleticism after the catch and the way he can control his body in the air. That’s a lot of praise for a wide receiver after his first NFL practice, without pads or much contact, in front of the media, and he also didn’t do anything with Brady, who isn’t expected to arrive until minicamp in two weeks. But Harry distinguished himself physically, and that’s the best way to evaluate a rookie receiver at this stage of the calendar.
Harry had a team-high five receptions in team drills.
The Patriots have 14.4 vacated targets per game, so there is plenty of opportunity for Harry in his first season. If he's able to gain the trust of Tom Brady, he could be a fantasy starter in 2019.
