Cardinals’ Marvin Harrison Jr. Projected to Breakout Next Year
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. could have a monster sophomore season.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was projected to land in the desert shortly after being made the No. 4 overall pick in last year’s draft and transform Arizona’s offense overnight.
Once the dust settled on Harrison’s rookie campaign, the box score numbers (62 receptions for 885 yards and eight touchdowns) were by no means awful, though the tape and eye test of his first year in the league showed he wasn’t quite ready.
Harrison struggled out of the gates with no preseason action and a very obvious lack of chemistry with quarterback Kyler Murray.
That – mixed with the Cardinals trying to utilize Harrison in ways he simply wasn’t tasked with during his Ohio State days (he’s not a jump-ball receiver) – left some feeling like Harrison left a lot of food on the table.
“It’s been up and down,” said Harrison towards the end of the season.
It’s part of it – part of the sport, part of being a rookie and going from college level to the pro level, always just keep your head up.”
Now entering his sophomore season, Harrison could eat in a big way.
