Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsN’Keal Harry Su’a Cravens Jersey , WRSchool: Arizona State | Conference: PAC-12College Experience: Junior | Age: 21Height / Weight: 6-2 / 228 lbsProjected Draft Status: Top-50NFL Comparison: Alshon JefferyCollege Statistics & Athletic ProfilePlayer OverviewN’Keal Harry is from the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent, and moved to Arizona with his grandmother when he was young. He became one of the most sought-after recruits in the country (top-20 overall) through his dominant high school career. He choose to stay locally and play for Arizona State, starting as a true freshman and leading all freshman in receiving yards nationally. The next two years he made first-team All-Pac-12. Harry is extremely close with his grandmother and he draws much inspiration from her. He chose to skip out on ASU’s bowl game to prepare for the draft.StrengthsBig-bodied receiver with ability to make very difficult contested catchesGreat body control and ball-tracking ability with strong handsConverts redzone opportunities well with awareness of where he needs to be to stay in boundsAlpha dog mentality on the field who bullies smaller corners with size and strengthJump ball specialistGets the job done in RAC situations with deceptive wiggle and elusivenessWeaknessesDoes not create separation downfield – looks to have average play speedWilling but surprisingly poor blocker considering his sizeNot explosive off the line or in and out of his breaksFeet look heavy and slow in stutter release vs. press coverageMediaHow He Fits on the RedskinsIn my opinion the biggest need for the 2019 Washington Redskins is more playmakers on offense. With Derrius Guice and Jordan Reed fully healthy, and AP re-signed, that means wide receivers. Unfortunately Josh Doctson appears to be a first-round bust, and other wideouts have either been injured or left in free agency. That shouldn’t scare the Redskins from spending another high draft pick on a receiver – or even on a guy with a similar play style to Doctson.In a lot of ways, N’Keal Harry is what we thought Josh Doctson would be coming out of TCU. A big, physical target that isn’t a speed merchant, but automatic in the red zone and in jump ball situations. But it’s important to remember that Harry is a completely different person than Doctson, even if Redskins fans are skittish at their similar traits. He was the No. 1 ranked receiver coming out of high school and by all accounts a strong leader. Harry carries himself with a confident swagger and plays fearless. Not to mention that physically, he’s actually faster and stronger than Doctson.Scheme-wise Brandon Scherff Jersey , he is a good fit for the Redskins’ offense and identity. Harry is a big, presentable target on screens, slants, and bubble routes that compliment a run-first style with Guice and AP. He can make spectacular catches downfield in play-action situations. His big, strong frame can be molded into a big-time run blocker on the edge.I do think the Redskins need more speed at wide receiver and while Harry isn’t a slouch, he’s never going to be Tyreek Hill. But the Redskins can’t afford to overlook legitimately good players for a single trait. If they’re going to address wide receiver in the early rounds, they should take a serious look at N’Keal Harry if he’s available. Colt McCoy was limping badly after leaving the X-ray room in the bowels of Lincoln Financial Field, and Washington now has ruled him out for the rest of the game.That leaves at least Washington’s immediate future in Mark Sanchez‘s hands as it tries to keep pace with the Cowboys in the NFC East.The Eagles lead Washington 14-13 at halftime.McCoy went down awkwardly on a sack by Malcolm Jenkins on the final play of the first quarter. He stayed in the game, finishing the field goal drive but headed to the locker room soon after.Sanchez, who had not played in a regular-season game since 2016 when he was with the Cowboys, signed with Washington two weeks ago after Alex Smith fractured his lower leg. Sanchez has led Washington to 10 points Preston Smith Jersey , completing 6 of 9 passes for 62 yards.McCoy was 4-for-4 for 50 yards before leaving.Tight end Jordan Reed is the emergency quarterback if something happens to Sanchez.Adrian Peterson helped out his quarterback, scoring on a 90-yard touchdown run on Sanchez’s first play. It was the longest run in team history, and at 33, Peterson became the oldest player in NFL history with a 90-yard rush.Peterson is within 7 yards of his third 100-yard game of the season and now has topped 1,000 yards from scrimmage this season.The Eagles scored on their first possession, getting a 6-yard touchdown pass from Carson Wentz to Golden Tate after officials missed a false start by right tackle Lane Johnson. It was the second consecutive night officials have missed a blatant false start on a touchdown throw, as the Chargers benefited from a no-call on Sam Tevi against the Steelers.Washington had a goal-line stand against the Eagles in the second quarter, with linebacker Zach Brown tackling running back Josh Adams for a 2-yard loss on fourth-and-goal from the 1. But Washington went three-and-out, giving Philadelphia a short field.The Eagles needed only three plays to go the 40 yards with Darren Sproles scoring on a 14-yard run. It is Sproles’ first game back since the season opener.Wentz is 13-of-18 for 159 yards and a touchdown. Zach Ertz has five catches for 54 yards.
