Marvin Harrison Jr. receives an eye-opening Larry Fitzgerald NFL Draft comparison.
Does he stand up to the comparison?
The 2024 NFL Draft is almost coming. While Caleb Williams is widely regarded as the best quarterback in this class, the same could be said about the wide outs. After a record-breaking career at Ohio State, Marvin Harrison Jr. may have just surpassed other notable players like Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze. This is because the Buckeyes star may have the same potential as Larry Fitzgerald.
Now, similarities are not new, especially as the NFL Draft approaches. However, having the ceiling of probably one of the finest receivers in the game pushes expectations to an all new level.Marvin Harrison Jr. is now experiencing this. He has been likened to Larry Fitzgerald, and his work in The Herd appears to match or perhaps surpass that comparison.
“I had a GM in Orlando tell me that Marvin Harrison Jr. is was Larry Fitzgerald 2.0, pedigree and he’s a pro,” Schultz added.
The #1 wide receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft Class has demonstrated his abilities. During his three seasons at Ohio State, he accumulated 2,613 receiving yards on 155 catches. To put that in context, when he receives the ball, the Buckeyes average 16.9 yards.
Furthermore, he improves when playing off the scrimmage. In the same time period, he ran 159 plays for Ohio State, contributing 2,671 yards to the team total. His lethality and effectiveness then improve as he approaches the end zone. Coach Ryan Day has benefited greatly from this ability of his. He led the Buckeyes to 32 touchdowns from scrimmage and 31 on catches.
