Marvin Harrison Jr. entered the NFL with sky-high expectations. The son of a Hall of Fame receiver, Harrison Jr. was drafted fourth overall by the Arizona Cardinals, who hoped he would become their next superstar. 1 But after a disappointing rookie season, many are wondering if they made the right choice.
Harrison Jr. struggled to find chemistry with quarterback Kyler Murray, and his production was limited. He finished the season with just 85 receptions for 1,204 yards and eight touchdowns. While those numbers aren’t terrible, they’re far from what was expected of a player with Harrison’s pedigree.
The Cardinals need to figure out how to get Harrison Jr. more involved in the offense. They need to find ways to get him the ball in space and let him utilize his speed and playmaking ability. If they can do that, Harrison Jr. could still become the star they envisioned. But if they can’t, his rookie season might be a sign of things to come.
