Why Marvin Harrison Jr has NOT Been a Let Down.



Coming into the latest draft, many people saw Marvin Harrison Jr as the most entertaining player, athletic, and overall, the best receiver in the draft. Now In week 16 of the 2024 NFL season, many fans and critics are starting to show their doubts for the young receiver; but I think he has still shown out this season and deserves his recognition.

Marvin, as of week 16, has had 726 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns; not bad, but not quite the put out that many people where expecting, but this may not be is fault. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has only passed for 16 touchdowns, meaning Marvin Harrison Jr has almost half of those, Kyler also has a favorite target and his name is not Marvin Harrison Jr, it’s Trey McBride. Trey has double the amount of receptions as Marvin with 92.

Marvin Harrison Jr is a young receiver, who is growing into an offensive where he is not the number one option but is still giving an admirable output. But where does he stand amongst other rookie receivers? (Only including receivers and not tight ends or runningbacks). He is third in receiving yards behind, Brain Thomas Jr of the Jaguars, and Malik Nabers of the Giants. Marvin is in second in receiving touchdowns only behind Brain Thomas Jr.


Marvin has so far a very successful first season in the NFL, I believe many people just set the expectations way to high for a rookie receiver, but I do believe that Marvin has many pro bowl season awaiting him in the future.

Why Cam Ward Should Be Your First Overall Pick

Image
      With the Raiders now obtaining the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, after falling to 2-11 after this week's game against the Buccaneers; many people see Shedeur Sanders as the consensus first overall pick. Afterall the Colorado QB is capping off an incredible season and career with the Buffs. Finishing this last season with 3,296 passing yards, 35 touchdowns through the air, and 8 interceptions.  The problem with many people's draft boards is they forget about the quarterback out east who had 127 more passing yards, less interceptions and the highest QBR in the nation. Cam Ward is the most complete quarterback in this year's draft; he has an almost ideal frame at 6'2 and 225 LBS and is easily the best dual-threat quarterback in recent years, he possesses one of the best deep ball throwing capabilities, is the most accurate QB with an 88 QBR, and has an unmatched pocket presence.     The Miami quarterback will be headed to New York this w...
