The mystery is finally over. The Arizona Cardinals have made their first selection of the 2024 NFL draft. In what was no surprise, they selected Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with the fourth overall pick.
Harrison was the No. 1 receiver prospect this year and some consider him the best receiver prospect since A.J. Green and Julio Jones in 2011.
Harrison will turn 22 years old in August. He is 6-foot-3 and 209 pounds and the son of Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison.
In three seasons at Ohio State, he caught 155 passes for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns. He had 14 touchdowns each of the last two seasons and surpassed 1,200 receiving yards each year — in 2022 with last year’s NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year C.J. Stroud and last season with Kyle McCord.
He was the most mocked player to the Cardinals leading up to the draft.
Wide receiver was the Cardinals’ greatest need entering the draft. It has been filled in a big way with Harrison.
