Canadian receiver N’Keal Harry records three receptions for New England Patriots in NFL debut

A young Canadian receiver made the most of his NFL debut.

N’Keal Harry, a native of Toronto, dressed for his first NFL game with the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon, catching three passes for 18 yards in a 17-10 victory.

Harry was New England’s first-round draft pick in April after an excellent three-year stint at Arizona State University. Injured in training camp, Harry missed his team’s first nine games of the season before dressing against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The six-foot-three, 228-pound target does more than make plays with the football. He’s also a strong blocker as evidenced by this take-down of Eagles’ pass rusher Derek Barnett, a former first-round draft pick.

The Patriots have big plans for Harry — Sunday was just the start of something special.
