New England Patriots rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry made his NFL debut for the AFC East franchise two weeks ago in the road win over the Philadelphia Eagles. After playing his second straight week on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, the 21-year-old is looking to “turn it up a notch.”
Per Henry McKenna in USA Today Sports' Patriots Wire:
“I’m definitely not satisfied, and anybody that knows me knows that I’m about to turn it up a notch, and I’m about to really hit the grindstone and really get back to work,” Harry said during a postgame meeting with the media at his locker at Gillette Stadium.
“It was a great feeling,” Harry said. “It was a great throw. I’m just happy I could come up and make the play.”
The 6-foot-4 wideout from Arizona State only had one reception on three targets for a 10-yard touchdown grab, but the first-year receiver is looking to step up and be incorporated in the Tom Brady–led Patriots offense in the coming weeks as the 2019 regular season winds down.
Harry, the only receiver drafted in the first round during the Bill Belichick era, was placed on the injured reserve (IR) list after an ankle injury suffered during his first training camp with the team. He returned in Week 11 against the Eagles, recording three receptions on four targets for 18 yards in his professional debut.
After the game, Bardy told Boston radio WEEI that “He just had a great mentality I think,” on Harry's second game ever.
