Call from the Patriots was worth the wait for Arizona State WR N'Keal Harry

It was a long but worthwhile wait for former Chandler High School and Arizona State wide receiver N'Keal Harry.

There was just one pick remaining in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft, so the former Sun Devil was prepared to wait for Friday's second round.

Then his phone rang.

It was the call all prospects anxiously await. It was the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots calling to say they had indeed selected him with the 32nd and last pick of the first round.

Harry, 6-foot-2, 228-pound, is the first wide receiver the franchise has taken in the first round under coach Bill Belichick.
