N’KEAL HARRY, WR, PATRIOTS
What rookie would you choose to build a Rookie Card collection of? “Deebo Samuel or A.J. Brown.” What cards of yours this weekend have you thought were cool or unique?
“All of them, honestly. ere’s not one individual one that stands out. It’s just the fact that I’m on these cards. I had some of these growing up, so being on them now is crazy to see.” What players or teams did you collect?
“I had a LaDainian Tomlinson card. I had some baseball cards but can’t remember the players.” Did you think the college cards and collectibles was such a big deal?
“It’s not a huge surprise to me because I know there are a lot of really passionate college football fans out there. It’s cool the way they have everything come together.” What all-time player would you most want to be on a football card with? “I’d have to go with Larry Fitzgerald.” What do you think it will be like catches passes from a legend like Tom Brady? “It’s definitely a blessing. I’m most excited just to learn from him. I know he’s hard on the receivers, but that’s something I’m looking forward to, just holding me accountable and helping me take my game to the next level.” What do you like about rookie teammate Damien Harris’s game?
“He’s really powerful. He can run through tackles. He’s really going to help us. e Patriots use multiple running backs, so he’s really going to help us.” Any players you’re looking forward to playing against?
“No one in particular. I’m just ready to prove myself. To be able to compete against the corners, they are the best at what they do—the best in the world. I’m excited to see how I stack up.” If you had to choose, would you rather have a lot of yards or a lot of touchdowns in a game? “I’ll take the points, help the team win.” What players still at Arizona State should collectors watch out for the next couple years?
“Definitely a lot. Frank Darby, Brandon Aiyuk, Kyle Williams. ere are a lot that I feel like will make it to the NFL and have a successful career once they get here.” What will you miss most about college football?
“Mostly the people around Arizona State. Everybody on the team was like my brother. e coaches really made me feel like they really cared about me.”
