New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton continues to give new nicknames to a handful of his teammates, this time for wide receiver N'Keal Harry, as per ESPN‘s Mike Reiss.
N'Keal Harry's knack for snaring jump balls showed up against the Rams.
Cam Newton explains: "It’s just a chance. In essence, a slogan or saying that you give a receiver is a ‘Chance Man.’ Just give him a chance, man. That was a ‘Chance Man’ type throw and he came down with it.”

The new nickname was inspired by Harry's ability to snag 50/50 balls over his defenders which has been on display as of late. The former Arizona State product hauled in an acrobatic catch from Newton during their Week 13 tilt against the Los Angeles Chargers where he tallied 15 yards on two receptions and a touchdown.
He had another stellar catch in their following encounter against the Los Angeles Rams where he produced 49 yards on three touches. On another note, the ‘Chance Man' moniker also depicts Harry's inconsistencies this season.
The Foxborough-based squad simply doesn't know what they'll be getting from the receiver week in and week out. Although he has been healthier this season as compared to his rookie campaign, he still hasn't established himself as a reliable receiver for the Patriots.
He has only tallied a lackluster total of 277 receiving yards on 29 receptions and two touchdowns through 11 games played this season. Given his athleticism, Harry should be able to do more for the Patriots especially with the team's lack of weapons on the offensive end.
With a 6-7 record, the Patriots should face the Miami Dolphins with a sense of urgency if they want to conclude the season on a positive note. Hopefully, a breakout performance by N'Keal Harry will be able to power them to their seventh victory and increase their slim chances of making it to the playoffs.
