Patriots Struggling WR No-Shows Early Workouts

The New England Patriots started off their voluntary workouts. Players gathered for their early workout and one particular player missed it. According to Zack Cox from ESPN, Patriots WR N’Keal Harry didn’t show up at the early workout with his team.

Harry’s absence added fuel to the fire. Many analysts believe that Harry will finally force his way out of New England. He requested a trade through his agent last summer, but managed to stay on Bill Belichick’s roster. Harry showed great flashes during training camp and his performance was really promising. The rumors about his trade sparkled a huge debate at the beginning of the regular season.

Patriots WR N’Keal Harry misses early workouts amid strong speculation

The young wideout struggled to make an impact. He was a healthy scratch at one point. Does it get any worse than this? Maybe Harry should really consider going somewhere else. He may bloom in another organization.

Belichick selected Harry in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The young wideout struggled to connect with Tom Brady. It was really hard and his injuries made everything worse. Harry missed 16 games in his three seasons with the Patriots. He had just 18 starts with the team and only delivered 57 receptions for 598 yards and four touchdowns.

The bad performance helped Harry develop a different aspect of his game. He became a good blocker. However, the Patriots didn’t select him to become a blocker. They wanted a strong wide receiver. Obviously, Harry didn’t become one.

Belichick had to work on a backup plan. He got a few players last offseason and traded for another one this year. The Patriots traded for DeVante Parker and got him and a fifth-rounder. The Miami Dolphins got a third-round pick.

Parker is a much better option than Harry. He has been around for a few years and his performance could be of great help for New England.

It’s a long offseason and the Patriots will have to make a decision on Harry and his future with the team. Maybe they have made one. Harry was a no-show for early spring workouts. We all know what that means.
