N'Keal Harry had a shaky rookie campaign in 2019 with the New England Patriots, but he's focused on bouncing back in 2020. In an attempt to improve his game, Harry is training with the self-proclaimed ‘Footwork King' this offseason.
Rischad Whitfield, who's known by many as the ‘Footwork King', is a trainer that helps wide receivers improve their footwork. As a matter of fact, besides Harry, he's worked with the likes of Odell Beckham Jr., DeAndre Hopkins, Emmanuel Sanders, and CeeDee Lamb.
Given that, whatever Whitfield is doing to help receivers, it seems to be working. Therefore, Harry went to him in hopes that he could take his game to the next level in the upcoming season.
In his rookie season, Harry got off to a rough start after suffering an ankle injury in the preseason. As a result, New England's first-round pick was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return. Then, in Week 11, Harry finally made his debut versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
Over the course of the final seven weeks of the season, Harry hauled in just 12 receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns. Seeing that he was a first-round pick, those numbers were a bit disappointing for fans to see in 2019.
Nevertheless, Harry is focused on making sure he avoids having another underwhelming season with the Patriots. Among his offseason training, Harry is working on his footwork, which in turn will help him with his route running. By the time the 2020 season starts, Harry should be a much-improved receiver than he was a season ago.
