Tom Brady Shares Words Of Encouragement For N’Keal Harry After First Practice

The New England Patriots can’t wait to have N’Keal Harry on the field again. Tom Brady will have a new weapon on the field, and he responded to Harry’s recent Instagram post.

The rookie receiver was placed on injured reserve prior to the Patriots’ season opener due to an ankle injury. He saw some action on the practice field for the first time since August on Tuesday. Harry posted a photo on Instagram to share his excitement, and Brady was the first to react.

“Let’s keep it going,” the GOAT wrote.

Harry would add more strength to the solid wide receiver group comprised of Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, Phillip Dorsett, Gunner Olszewski and Jakobi Meyers. He won’t see some action until Week 9, and the Patriots will play the Baltimore Ravens.

Brady has already spoken his mind on Harry.

“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.”
