N’Keal Harry, WR
N’Keal Harry’s rookie season didn’t go as planned. He’s the only wide receiver drafted by Belichick in the first round and he missed a majority of the season with an ankle injury. He played in seven games and only grabbed 12 catches with 105 yards and two touchdowns. Harry’s 6-foot-4, 225 pound frame and freaky ability to highpoint the football was the reason he was drafted so high.
Harry won’t have much competition on the roster for reps, playing alongside Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu. As long as he remains injury-free, Harry will become a focal point in the offense.
Mohamed Sanu, WR
Mohamed Sanu had a disappointing start in New England. The well-accomplished receiver suffered an early injury with the team after being traded for a second-round pick. Sanu finished the season with 26 receptions, 207 yards and one touchdown in eight games. He’s remained extremely durable and averages 564 yards in the eight seasons he’s played.
Sanu will be a leader for Harry and the young receivers, along with a much-needed target for Stidham. The 2020 campaign should be significantly better for the 30-year-old.
