Calling it a breakout game would probably be a bit much, but N’Keal Harry certainly had a promising showing on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie wide receiver contributed four touches, 37 scrimmage yards and a touchdown to the New England Patriots’ 34-13 road win and showed off some of the skills that made him the 32nd overall draft pick in April: he displayed smooth hands as well as strong run-after-the-catch abilities.
All in all, Harry had his best and most active game of the season: playing 40 snaps as the Patriots’ third wide receiver behind Julian Edelman and N’Keal Harry, he saw his role grow considerably compared to last week’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs when he was on the field for just two offensive snaps.
