Tom Brady Gives First Impressions Of N’Keal Harry Following Day 3 Minicamp

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was given a new weapon for the upcoming season. First-round pick N’Keal Harry may easily transform into Brady’s favorite player.

Harry will be given a big role on the roster, and Brady is now taking a tempered approach with the rookie. Instead of jumping on the hype train, Brady spoke of the challenges they will face.

“Like any rookie, I think there’s a lot to learn, there’s a lot of things happening,” Brady said of Harry following Day 3 of Patriots minicamp. “Like all of us, we’re just working every day to try to get better. And he’s going to, I’m going to, Jules [Julian Edelman] is going to – he’s got a lot of good people in his room, lot of veterans that he can depend. We still have a long way to go and he’s going to learn every day so the more we do the better.”

“I always say when someone’s 22, in some ways it’s a disservice the way they get treated because everyone expects them to come in and just take what they did in college and replicate it in the pros. And in reality, it’s a totally different game.

“It’s really hard to get acclimated to these environments to go from an amateur to being a professional is entirely different. Like all of us who were 21 or 22 at one time, the difference when you’re older and have experience, the level of comfort, knowing exactly what the expectations are is very important. It’s just a work in progress. I think all of us are trying to learn each other, trying to learn the offense and we put all these moving parts together and it takes time to forge relationships but you do it through a lot of repetition and a lot of communication and that’s the time of year that we’re in.”

Julian Edelman is here to teach Harry all the things he needs to learn. He can easily turn into a  powerful machine on the field, and NFL experts had some really good words for him. Good luck, Harry!
