Can Cardinals rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. live up to the hype? image

Arizona Cardinals rookie and former standout Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has plenty of buzz circulating about him.  It starts with his namesake and father, NFL Hall of Fame and Super Bowl Champion WR Marvin Harrison Sr. who had a stellar NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts.

Besides the obvious comparisons to his father, Harrison Jr.'s style of play has been compared to another Hall of Famer, Randy Moss, and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans.

Harrison Jr. will need to shut out the noise when the season begins because he will be tasked with jump-starting a Cardinals team that finished 4-13 last season, eight games behind the division-winning San Francisco 49ers. 

Harrison Jr. has already started his NFL career in a somewhat unique way.  Like Lamar Jackson, Harrison Jr. negotiated and signed his rookie contract without an agent.  He is one of the most exciting 2024 NFL draft prospects that NFL fans cannot wait to see on the field in the fall.
