Seattle Seahawks work out former Patriots draft bust N’Keal Harry

The Seattle Seahawks may be without the services of Noah Fant for multiple weeks after he suffered a groin injury in practice, which means the search is on for tight end help.

According to Howard Balzer of Cards Wire, Seattle brought in four tight ends, one of whom was a notable draft bust as a wide receiver for the New England Patriots .

N'Keal Harry is the most famous name on here as one of the eight wide receivers selected ahead of DK Metcalf in the 2019 NFL Draft. Harry was taken with the 32nd overall pick by the Patriots, whose track record of using early-round draft capital on wide receivers under Bill Belichick was notoriously spotty. He was ineffective in New England, catching just 57 passes for 598 yards and 4 touchdowns.

When Harry left the Patriots in 2022, he played a few games with the Chicago Bears, catching 7 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown, and barely played any snaps last season with the Minnesota Vikings. The former Arizona State star stands 6'3 and initially played at 225 pounds, but obviously he put on some weight in order to make a position switch.

As for the other tight ends: Tre' McKitty was a 2021 third-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers. Known more as a blocking tight end, McKitty didn't pan out in LA and didn't make it through his contract. He was most recently with the Buffalo Bills before being cut in preseason. Tyree Jackson was an XFL quarterback with the DC Defenders before shifting to TE in the NFL, and was last with the New York Giants. Lastly, Gerrit Prince was exclusively a practice squad/training camp player for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs over the last few seasons.

The Seahawks have a full practice squad so if any TE is signed, then someone will need to be removed. Mike Macdonald said that they don't expect Noah Fant to go on IR, so keep that in mind.
