Armond Armstead/Mark Harrison’s Seasons are over for Patriots

by

Per Jeff Howe’s tweets below, it looks like it’s now official, no Armond Armstead or Mark Harrison this year. 

On Harrison it’s probably good to give him a red shirt year. He was never healthy coming into camp and as we all know it takes time for receivers to pick up the system. He’ll be one to watch in camp as no other receiver has his size and speed on the roster.

Armstead is a real disappointment and no one seems to know what happened. Most were penciling him in as the top sub-rusher next to Wilfork this season, and everything looked okay until he suddenly was put on the PUP for what was called an “infection”.

How did he get the infection? Was it related to his heart issues that caused him to miss time in college? Nobody seems to know. 

It’s even more disappointing because after the injuries to Wilfork and Kelly, the Pats really could’ve used some reinforcements along the defensive line. Hopefully the real story comes out eventually. It’s probably more likely to now that his season is over. 

So yeah, more bad news. Anyone getting used to this yet?

He doesn’t have a lot of flash to his game, but Harrison displays all the qualities you want from a big-bodied outside receiver. He’s got deceptive short-area quickness, he runs comeback routes to a tee, he uses his wingspan to his advantage, and he also has the presence of mind to work the sideline.
He has a slight issue with dropping catchable balls, yet once Harrison is in possession and sees the open field, defensive backs face the tough task of essentially bringing down a linebacker.
And more often than not, that downfield running results in a lucrative gain, if not a TD.

Patriots sign coveted UDFA Mark Harrison | NEPatriotsDraft.com – 2013 NFL Draft

Good signing, this receiver competition in camp is gonna be nuts.

It’s not an understatement to say that statistically Mark Harrison had the most impressive 2013 NFL Combine performance of any participant. During February’s combine Mark weighed in at just under 6’3″ tall and 231 lbs. When Harrison posted a 40 yard dash time of 4.46 seconds, a broad jump of 10’9″ and a vertical jump of 38.5 inches, people immediately took notice. A human being as big and heavy as Harrison isn’t supposed to put up those kind of agility numbers.
