By james art Former Ohio State Buckeyes star Marvin Harrison Jr. was expected to take the NFL by storm with the Arizona Cardinals after being selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go according to plan for Harrison with the Cardinals.
So far in his rookie season, Harrison has played in seven games. He has caught 20 passes for 300 yards and four touchdowns. Those overall numbers aren’t bad, but his last three weeks have been terrible.
As Dov Kleiman shared at X, Harrison’s last three weeks have been rough. He has caught just five passes out of 15 targets for 57 yards and no touchdowns. Harrison also posted a 33 percent catch rate.

Harrison is one of the best receivers to ever come through the Ohio State football program. During his career with the Buckeyes, he caught 155 passes for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns. He was an absolute threat to the opposing defense.
Looking ahead to the future, Harrison will be a huge part of helping Arizona turn things around. His last few weeks have been rough, but he has shown flashes of his elite potential.
There are many former Ohio State stars playing in the NFL at the wide receiver position. Harrison has the potential to be the best of them all.
At this point in the season through seven weeks, the Cardinals are 3-4. They were much more competitive in 2024 than they were last season or the year before.
Hopefully, Harrison can start to turn his season around and move forward. He is too talented to put in poor performances like the last three weeks.
It will be interesting to see what happens the rest of the season. The past few weeks have been bad for Harrison, but he’s too talented to stay down much longer.
