Marvin Harrison Jr. has scouts raving one year in advance of 2024 NFL Draft

Marvin Harrison Jr. was on hand for Ohio State’s pro day in Columbus on Wednesday. Unfortunately for NFL teams, it was only to catch passes from one of April's top prospects, projected top-10 selection C.J. Stroud.

As just a sophomore, Harrison Jr. was not eligible to declare for the 2023 NFL Draft. He will have to, as the saying goes, wait until next year.

That wait seems much to the chagrin of teams and general managers around the NFL. Harrison Jr. arguably looked even more sharp on Wednesday than fellow Buckeyes wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba who was actually working out for evaluators.

“(It’s) like window shopping at a Lamborghini dealership for the model that doesn’t come out until next year,” an unnamed NFL scout told ESPN’s Jordan Reid.

The 6-foot-3 Harrison Jr. was a four-star recruit out of Philadelphia in 2021, when he chose Ohio State over FBS powerhouses such as Penn State, Notre Dame, LSU and Alabama.

The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, he showed out catching passes from Stroud as a sophomore last season. One of Harrison’s best performances came under the brightest lights of them all, when he went off for 106 receiving yards and two touchdowns against an elite Georgia defense in Ohio State’s College Football Playoff loss to the Bulldogs.
