Arizona Cardinals fans have lofty expectations for rookie receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., selected fourth overall in this year’s draft. He comes with a lot of hype. While some would like to pump the brakes, not even his teammates are doing that.
Tight end Trey McBride was a guest on “The Adam Schefter Podcast” and fed the hype about Harrison.
“This guy is elite,” he said. “He’s a freak of nature.”
Harrison hasn’t played a single down yet and McBride is already pumping him up.
“It’s one of those things where a guy of his stature shouldn’t be able to move the way he moves, shouldn’t be as fast as he is and shouldn’t be able to catch the way he does,” McBride explained. “Everything he does is elite. The hype that was around him in college, he definitely lived up to the hype. He’s a great person, a great player. I’m excited to see the connection he and Kyler have in training camp.”
McBride added the crisp routes Harrison runs, how he gets open and how he doesn’t drop the ball.
He called 50-50 balls “70-30 for us” with Harrison.
It’s hard not to get excited about Harrison. His production was elite at Ohio State. He has freakish physical traits. He will have all the opportunities to get the ball.
It’s going to be fun to watch and see what he does.
