In 12 career games, Harry has 30 catches for 271 yards and three touchdowns. It is worth pointing out that 42 of them -- 15 percent -- came on the final drive against the Seahawks in Week 2.
Monday on Dale & Keefe, Rich Keefe found a pre-draft scouting report on Harry from Walker Football that seems pretty spot-on.
“Team sources say that Harry is not real twitchy or explosive," it read. "They worry about how he’s not fast in and out of breaks and don’t see suddenness. Some sources said that Harry reminded them of Ole Miss wide out Laquon Treadwell, who is currently headed towards bust status wth the Vikings. Some other sources are saying they are grading Harry on the second day of the 2019 NFL Draft and feel he is a kin to Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Devin Funchess. One team source said they originally planned on grading Harry in Round 2, but were lowering him to the third round.”

Yeah, and they had Chase Claypool at #6 for the 2020 draft and Jefferson at #5. Both of those guys have been tearing it up which disproves the notion that not being #1 in one person's subjective draft rankings makes a player garbage, and that we should hire this guy as our scout.I just looked back at a bunch of the draft sites 2019 WR rankings and far and away D.K. Metcalf was number one on a lot of them. The Walter Football one had Metcalf 1 and Harry 6. Maybe we should hire their WR scout.
Claypool was ranked #6 among WRs in the 2020 Walter Football draft rankings, though. There's no way he could be any good.Cam’s doing what Brady did, if he’s not open he’s not getting the ball. Cam isn’t gonna risk a turnover if the DB is in Harry’s back pocket (like he was on the INT on Sunday). That’s why Harry had only 2 targets on 55 plays. Claypool is light years ahead of Harry.
McDaniels has never been able to draft and develop a WR/TE in his time as OC, Gronkowski, Branch, Hernandez, Edelman, and Givens were all drafted in years he was not OC. During his time as OC we’ve draft 13 WR/TE and the only one with any level of success was Mitchell.
You do realize when I said “we should look at their WR scouts” it’s tongue in cheek right? Lighten up Francis.Yeah, and they had Chase Claypool at #6 for the 2020 draft and Jefferson at #5.

Being the #6 ranked WR doesn't mean you're bad; it means there are other good WRs in the draft. There is also so much more to player development than college evaluations.

Yeah, Harry looks ... bad. Really bad.
They need to get the ball in his hands ASAP - end-arounds, reverses, quick screens, designed fades/back-shoulder throws, etc. If he can develop into a more polished receiver remains to be seen, but the guy has some physical tools to be a good player. As others have noted, plenty of other NFL WRs have struggled with quick feet but still were utilized successfully by their coaches.
Beyond coaching/utilization, another clear issue is that the guy just lacks confidence. Setting aside footwork for a moment, if the guy was confident and aggressive that'd help a ton. I don't care about what physical tools you do/don't have: if you're thinking too hard and not playing freely, you're going to struggle, period. I wonder if being smothered by such a good secondary in practice day-after-day has hurt his development.
They need to get him to loosen up and just go out and play without thinking too much. The technique, footwork, etc don't have to be perfect - stop getting him overly focused on that. The guy is 6'3", 220 lbs and athletically gifted - he should be having success. Just tell him to go out there and play.
Wow, I got hands on tape, Cam was just flat out terrible with this reads. He was not looking at the open guys. Not sure what in the world he was doing with all that height. People we open and he had time to find them but was looking for specific people. It was Cam and not necessary the WRs or TEs. He had options. I guess he was rusty.
Shows us the tape. So you’re saying the wideouts where open all game? Hmm
I will do my cuts later tonight, but for now, take a look at Chatham'sWow, I got hands on tape, Cam was just flat out terrible with this reads. He was not looking at the open guys.

That is just flat out bad QB play. I now understand BB's comments today.
Those last few videos demonstrate why Cam has two TD passes this season.
Yeah, they're seeing the other WRs on the roster...Despite his lack of production, Harry got 50+ snaps yesterday second to Byrd again but way more than any other WR. So the coaches are seeing something many here do not...

It's both.Nah, it’s all N’Keal’s fault.
