Over the course of the New England Patriots' dynasty, NFL fans learned a valuable lesson: Never count the Patriots out.
But with Tom Brady leaving after 20 years to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, things have changed quickly. Suddenly, the Pats are perceived as underdogs.
It isn't difficult to see why. The quarterback position now is a real area of concern, and several key contributors from 2019 have departed in free agency.

Pats wide receiver N'Keal Harry, however, doesn't seem worried. The 2019 first-round pick took to Twitter on Saturday with a message for the doubters.
The 22-year-old certainly isn't lacking in confidence.
If the Patriots are to exceed expectations without Brady, Harry will be counted on to be a focal point in the offense. New England's wide receiver depth chart currently consists of Harry, Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu, and Jakobi Meyers. There's also a strong chance the position is addressed again via the draft, which takes place next month.

The real question is who will be throwing the ball to Harry when the 2020 NFL season kicks off. Right now, 2019 fourth-rounder Jarrett Stidham is the odds-on favorite to be Brady's successor.
Harry tallied 12 receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns in seven games during his rookie campaign.
