Film Notes and Highlights
There is not much to dislike about Marvin Harrison Jr’s game. He is one of the most complete receivers to come out of college in recent history. Harrison Jr. has a long frame and catch radius, where he catches almost everything even if it is not accurate. He is a smooth runner and uses hesitation to get off the line easily. Harrison Jr. consistently fights through contact to make tough catches even when flags are thrown.
He is able to adjust routes against different coverages and has great feet to be able to get separation. Harrison Jr. can win on all levels and I could find very few weaknesses. He is the WR1 in the 2024 NFL draft class by a good amount in my eyes and could be a top ten receiver already in his rookie year. – Brandon Haye

The only player to put up 100+ receiving yards vs Michigan last season was, unsurprisingly, Marvin Harrison Jr.
Registered 118 yards on just five catches, and all three of his explosive gains were contested
