Rookie N’Keal Harry Makes Pats Debut; Catches 3 Passes in Win
Former Arizona State football star N’Keal Harry finally made his NFL debut with the New England Patriots. The first-round pick missed the Patriots’ first nine games after suffering a preseason injury and suited up for the first time in New England’s Week 11 win over Philadelphia.
He was the second wide receiver taken in the 2019 NFL Draft at No. 32.

He was targeted four times in the game and finished with three catches for 18 yards.
Harry had a dominant career at Arizona State, producing back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons as a sophomore and junior. He finished his three-year career in Tempe with 213 receptions for 2,889 yards and 22 touchdowns.
The Patriots have had issues at receiver all season, trying anything possible to fill the void. They tried Antonio Brown, which lasted one game, brought back Josh Gordon, who is now playing for the Seattle Seahawks, and traded a second-round pick for Mohamed Sanu.
