What can the Cardinals expect from Marvin Harrison Jr.?

The Arizona Cardinals have snagged a gem in the 2024 NFL Draft, with their pick of Ohio State's Harrison Jr., at No. 4 overall. The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, the younger Harrison boasts an impressive collegiate resume, making him a top prospect at wide receiver.

As a two-time unanimous All-American and the recipient of the Fred Biletnikoff Award, he's proven himself as one of the best receivers in college football. His performance in the 2023 season recorded 67 receptions for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Harrison Jr. brings a unique combination of size, speed, and route-running ability. His exceptional skills at the top of routes allow him to create separation against physical cornerbacks, while his hands-catching ability and expansive catch radius make him a reliable target for quarterbacks.
