What N’Keal Harry said about joining the Patriots

The NFL draft can be an emotional experience for those waiting to be picked, particularly for those who are not sure what round they’ll be chosen, not mention which team will select them.

Arizona State wide receiver N’Keal Harry was projected as a late first round to second round pick by most scouting reports, and as the first round was drawing to a close Thursday night, Harry was thinking his name might not be called.

“I started to get really nervous, especially after the Patriots were up, and the broadcasters were saying that the Patriots haven’t picked a wide receiver in the first round in however many years,’’ Harry told NFL Network.
