Seattle took a flier on former first-round pick N\u2019Keal Harry, adding the receiver\/tight end to the team\u2019s practice squad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2019 first-round pick converted to TE from WR this past spring with the Vikings, who cut him from their practice squad last month,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Brady Henderson detailed in a November 12, 2024, message on X. \u201cSeattle lists him at 6-3\/228.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is one of several roster moves the Seahawks made coming out of the team\u2019s bye and ahead of their rivalry showdown against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. Seattle is a 6.5-point road underdog versus San Francisco in the NFC West clash.<\/p>\n<p>The New England Patriots selected Harry with the No. 32 overall pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft. Harry entered the NFL as a highly touted prospect out of Arizona State, but unfortunately the 6-foot-3 receiver has been unable to live up to the lofty expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The receiver\u2019s best NFL season came in 2020 when Harry posted 33 receptions for 309 yards and 2 touchdowns in 14 appearances for the Patriots during the 2020 season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>New Seahawks Addition N\u2019Keal Harry Has Played Both Wide Receiver &amp; Tight End<\/h2>\n<p>What are the Seahawks getting with the addition of Harry? Given this is a practice squad signing, it is a low-risk move that could potentially have a high reward given his strong pedigree. Seattle Sports\u2019 Brock Huard explained why the Seahawks\u2019 signing Harry offers plenty of intrigue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing a former first-rounder and having some great measurables, it will be I think at least worth a look to see if we can get more dynamic play out of that position,\u201d Huard explained during a November 13, episode of \u201cBrock and Salk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 What you\u2019re looking for is what you hope to see more of from Noah Fant, who is so fast and on paper and so explosive and yet \u2026 you\u2019d like to see a little more playmaking out of (him). So I think that\u2019s what this is. This is a little look at: Can this guy bring some of that playmaking when we get him the ball? Can he break a tackle or is he gonna be just a get-what\u2019s-there kind of guy\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Heading Into the 2019 NFL Draft, N\u2019Keal Harry Drew Comparisons to Allen Robinson<\/h2>\n<p>Harry had two straight seasons topping 1,000 receiving yards for Arizona State. Heading into the 2019 draft, NFL.com\u2019s Lance Zierlein compared Harry to Allen Robinson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack-shoulder boss who thrives with contested catch opportunities outside the numbers but lacks explosive traits,\u201d Zierlein wrote in his pre-draft profile of the playmaker. \u201cHarry\u2019s ability to body-up opponents and win with ball skills is undeniable, but his inability to find a threatening top gear or shake loose from tight man coverage must be accounted for within his new employer\u2019s scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis experience playing inside should help and teams will love his impact as a run-blocker. His competitiveness and ability to come down with the ball could make him a productive member of wide receiver trio in short order.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The good news for the Seahawks is the team is deep at both wide receiver and tight end. Anything Harry can offer the team this season would be an added bonus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seattle Seahawks landed a former first-round pick wide receiver ahead of the team&#8217;s rivalry clash with the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-san-francisco-49ers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
