Check out the highlights of the new Bears' receiver
N'Keal Harry wanted out of New England a year ago. He received his wish on Tuesday.
The Patriots traded the former first-round selection to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2024 seventh-round selection, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported.
In three years with New England, Harry didn't live up to his first-round billing. He totaled 57 receptions for 598 yards and four touchdowns during his first three seasons. Not exactly what the Patriots were hoping for. Now, Harry gets a fresh start in Chicago.
The 24-year-old joins a receiver room in Chicago led by Darnell Mooney, who led the Bears in receiving last season, and features plenty of new faces that will compete for playing time. The Bears signed former Kansas City wideout Byron Pringle to a one-year deal worth $4.125 million and used a third-round pick on Velus Jones Jr. Chicago also brought in Equanimeous St. Brown, Dante Pettis, Tajae Sharpe, and David Moore to fill out its receiving corps this offseason.
I think that the move by GM Ryan Poles was a very clever one. I like the upside in N'Keal Harry. I also believe that it was such a low-risk move because, let's face it, a 7th-round pick has basically no value. I think that Harry could become a valuable asset in Chicago. At 6-foot-4, he would be the second-tallest receiver behind Equanimeous St. Brown (6-foot-5) and at 228 pounds he would be the heaviest, but he still ran a 4.53 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Here are some of his highlights:
