Arizona State's N'Keal Harry goes to the Patriots with final pick of first round

Wide receiver N'Keal Harry now knows where his NFL career will start.

The former Sun Devil and Chandler High School standout was selected by the New England Patriots with the 32nd pick of the first round in the NFL draft Thursday in Nashville, Tenn. This marked the first time the Patriots have taken a wide receiver in the first round.

He was the second wide receiver taken, with Marquise Brown of of Oklahoma (Ravens, pick 25) the only one chosen before him. He was the third Pac 12 player selected with the other first round picks being offensive tackles Andre Dillard of Washington State (Eagles, 22nd pick) and Kaleb McGary of Washington (Falcons, 31st pick)

Harry, 21, celebrated with friends and family in Arizona rather than attend the festivities in Nashville, although he was there earlier this week for some pre-draft activities.
