Superstar wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has certainly taken a unique approach to the NFL Draft as he declined to participate in workouts at the NFL Scouting Combine and Ohio State’s pro day. And it seems like he’s making another rather unorthodox move as he prepares for his upcoming NFL career.
According to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN, Marvin Harrison Jr. has yet to sign the licensing agreement that would for the sale of his jerseys and for him to be included in the upcoming Madden video game.
“Marvin Harrison Jr. has yet to sign a preliminary NFLPA licensing agreement that all draftees typically sign, which would allow his name and likeness to be monetized after he is picked tonight and before his NFL contract is signed, per sources. His jersey will not be available for purchase and he will not be featured in video games until his NFLPA group licensing deal is signed,” Schefter said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Obviously, this is some pretty shocking news and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.

Really respect MHJ’s total commitment to totally punt on every pre-draft procedure possible to prep for the season https://t.co/nwzvg52Mnb

MHJ is a generational talent but he’s a diva before even getting drafted https://t.co/ih1Mqmz2H3

It's funny how this stuff keeps coming out about MHJ, just because of the fact a lot if Bears fans wanted to trade the pick to avoid the "diva" and draft MHJ lol https://t.co/LanQqW1DdU

It will certainly be interesting to see whether or not Harrison decides to sign the agreement.
