There are very few guarantees in the NFL, even when it comes to first-round picks.
After two disappointing seasons with the New England Patriots, N’Keal Harry’s agent has requested a trade from the team that took him 32nd overall in 2019. In his short career, Harry has recorded just 45 receptions for 414 yards and four touchdowns in 21 games.
While he didn’t have the best quarterback situation last year, Harry was passed on the depth chart by Jakobi Meyers, an undrafted wideout from the same draft class. Newcomer Damiere Byrd even leaped over the former Arizona Wildcat, nearly doubling his yard production.
With Harry’s departure looming, it’s probably smart to look at some other recent trades that saw struggling first-round wide receivers change teams on their rookie deals.
