The New England Patriots wasted no time filling their most pressing need as they entered the 2019 NFL Draft.
The Patriots used their top selection — No. 32 overall — on Arizona State wide receiver N’Keal Harry. He already has made history without even playing a down in Foxboro, as he became the first wide receiver taken in the first round by the Patriots in the Bill Belichick era.
It’s easy to understand why Belichick and the Patriots are big fans of Harry. He boasts imposing size at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, is an elite route runner and has great hands. Just take a look at this highlight from the 2018 college football season, in which Harry plays the back shoulder of USC cornerback Iman Marshall before making an absolutely absurd one-handed catch.
Yeah, we have a feeling Tom Brady was on board with the Patriots’ first-round decision.
The Draft will roll on beginning at 7 p.m. ET on Friday night in Nashville with Rounds 2 and 3.
