5 reasons N’Keal Harry trade was smart for Chicago Bears

Production

Chicago Bears are going to be putting off N’Keal Harry because he was not productive with the New England Patriots. If he could not produce with Tom Brady how could can you expect him to produce with Justin Fields?

This is all fair, but then you have to remember the competition that he is dealing with. N’Keal Harry had 598 yards over the past three seasons. Tajae Sharpe has 559 yards since 2019, and Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis are under 300 yards since Harry has entered the NFL.

Harry is not the most productive wide receiver, but he has produced. He also has seven rushes for 49 yards, four going for a first down.

Ryan Poles talked about adding a player into a Deebo Samuel role, and getting a big body who can be physical with the ball in his hands is exactly what he is looking for. So, he has a possible role, and while his production is low, Pettis could not do better with Kyle Shanahan, and St. Brown could not do better with Aaron Rodgers.
