Rookie Premiere: First look at top 2019 rookies in their new uniforms
New England Patriots
Not only did the New England Patriots win the Super Bowl, they added to their offensive weaponry this offseason and brought in someone who will be discussed as a possible (eventual) replacement for Tom Brady.
N’Keal Harry was a great pick for the Patriots at the bottom of the first round. He’s got the ‘alpha’ mentality at the receiver position to help this team effectively replace some of what Rob Gronkowski brought to the table as a receiver.
Damien Harris is also pictured here. Did the Patriots really need to pick Damien Harris? Probably not, but if anyone is a great fit for their system, it’s him. He’s one of the best all-around backs in this class and played for Nick Saban at Alabama, whom Bill Belichick greatly respects.
Jarrett Stidham has a great arm but wasn’t able to live up to lofty expectations his past couple of seasons in college. He has all of the tools and the Brady comparisons won’t stop until he fails.
Maybe the Patriots will get a 2nd-round pick for Stidham in four years when Brady is still playing at an MVP level.
