Marvin Harrison Jr. is widely expected to be the top wide receiver selected in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, and it sounds like he already has a team he wants to play for.
During a recent appearance on the “Cardinals Corner” podcast, Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr., who was a former teammate of Marvin Harrison Jr. in college with the Ohio State Buckeyes, said Harrison told him he wants the Arizona Cardinals to select him with the No. 4 overall pick in the upcoming draft.
“I literally went to Marvin and was like, ‘Dude, you know you’re a Cardinal, right?’ I knew he was going to be a Cardinal because I saw what happened with [DeAndre Hopkins]. I’m like, the Cardinals are probably going to want another 6-4 receiver. So I’m like, dude, I have a feeling, you’re probably going to be a Cardinal,” Johnson said on the podcast according to Larry Brown Sports.
“He said he wanted to be a Cardinal.”
Obviously, this news led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Another reason it's safe to say MHJ is most likely a Cardinal barring any changes with the 1st 3 picks, like how do you pass on a guy who's said he wants to play for your team, you don't get that very often from a draft pick of his caliber if at all at least not before the draft https://t.co/G2bN7HDLMC

I think Arizona trading down is a smoke screen. They have 3 picks in top 35. Unless NE takes MHJ, think Cardinals sprint to podium to take him. https://t.co/K8KXDD1KJX

No we can’t trade down and get him. He’s not falling past LA if we’re dumb enough to move back. https://t.co/GoLHhBhDpp

Of course, Harrison won’t exactly get to decide which team selects him in the upcoming NFL Draft, but it sounds like that’s where he would like to play. We’ll have to see if the Cardinals make it happen.
