How Marvin Harrison Jr.’s 2024 NFL Draft prep has differed than others
NY Post
Marvin Harrison Jr. was publicly spotted on a football field Wednesday in a rare occurrence leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft.
Harrison explained the rationale behind his unprecedented pre-draft process — bypassing specialized athletic training and not participating in testing at the NFL Scouting Combine or Ohio State’s Pro Day — during an appearance at the “Play Football” event with the Special Olympics in Detroit.
Following the lead of stars like Lamar Jackson, Harrison did not hire an agent.
He and his father, Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison, kept most of his facility visits and private workouts under wraps, though it is believed that he was at Giants headquarters.
“Just talking to my dad, we decided what’s best for us — to prepare for the NFL season, not prepare for the combine or Pro Day or anything like that,” the 21-year-old Harrison told NFL.com. “So, take our time to do our due diligence. Also resting after the season, getting your body right. … We trained to play football instead.”
Harrison’s once-firm grasp on being the No. 1 receiver selected Thursday night appears to be slipping.
