When the Arizona Cardinals selected former Ohio State Buckeyes superstar wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with the No. 4 overall pick in the NFL Draft, they hoped that he would become the team’s top wide receiver sooner rather than later. And thankfully for them, they did not have to wait all that long for it to happen.
According to a report from Josh Weinfuss of ESPN, Marvin Harrison Jr. has already established himself as the top wide receiver on the roster and has earned a lot of praise from coaches and teammates.
“It didn’t take long for Harrison to take over as the Cardinals’ No. 1 receiver, which was evident by him being the first receiver in drills during the open portion of minicamp. While he has made the routine plays look simple, he also has made the difficult look easy. Coach Jonathan Gannon said Harrison’s transition to the NFL has been ‘pretty seamless,’ and teammates on both sides of the ball have been heaping praise on the fourth overall pick. Cornerback Garrett Williams called Harrison ‘special,’ and fellow receiver Michael Wilson said Harrison is everything he expected,” Weinfuss wrote for ESPN last week.
Needless to say, it sounds like Harrison is living up to the soaring high expectations.
