Ohio State Buckeyes superstar wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. decided not to work out at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this month, which is not all that uncommon for top prospects as they instead save their workouts for their pro days. But in a pretty shocking twist, it sounds like Harrison won’t be working out at his pro day, either.
According to NFL insider Albert Breer of SI.com, Marvin Harrison Jr. will not do drills or workouts at Ohio State’s annual pro day on Wednesday.
“Ohio State Pro Day is today, and teams have been informed that all-everything WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will not be working out for scouts. Will be relatively quiet in Columbus, with so many high-end draft prospects choosing to stay in school, no GMs or HCs scheduled to be there,” Breer said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
We laid out Marvin Harrison Jr.'s logic prior to the Combine: https://t.co/mt1qu3rpDN. He's preparing for the NFL season, and doing it at OSU, rather than training to run 40s.
He asked the 9 teams he met with in Indy if they needed to see anything at Pro Day. They all said no. https://t.co/2uYrj0OYYJ

It’s obviously a pretty shocking approach that we haven’t really seen before heading into the NFL Draft.
We’ll have to see how it works out for him.
