Several teams are interested in current members of the New England Patriots as the trade deadline nears, and reportedly, running back Damien Harris is among the players that teams have been inquiring about.
Harris was drafted by the Patriots in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft. He has tallied 403 carries for 1,897 yards and 20 touchdowns in a little over three seasons of play. He currently has 60 carries for 265 yards and three touchdowns this season. His best game came against the Green Bay Packers on October 2, when he carried the ball 18 times for 86 yards and a touchdown.
Harris has taken a reduced role in light of injuries and the emerging performance of running back Rhamondre Stevenson. Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed reported on Thursday that teams were inquiring about the running back with the November 1 deadline nearing.
Sources: Teams have called #Patriots about RB Damien Harris and S Jabrill Peppers before the Nov. 1 NFL trade deadline. They are not shopping them, however.
NE has also received calls on WRs Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne, as @PhilAPerry said.

It will be intriguing to see if Harris is among the players who are not in New England come next Tuesday.
