In anticipation of the 2024 NFL Draft, Yahoo Sports fantasy analyst Matt Harmon evaluates Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.’s potential in the league. Harmon compares Harrison to a mix of Julio Jones and AJ Green, highlighting their similarities as big, versatile X receivers with excellent after-the-catch ability and refined route running skills. He emphasizes Harrison’s underrated YAC threat and proficiency in contested catch situations, making him a top prospect at the wide receiver position.
While Harmon acknowledges that Harrison shares some qualities with Mike Evans, he also mentions a more cautious comparison for Harrison. Despite being potentially lacking in separation and YAC skills compared to Jones or Green, being likened to Evans is not a negative as Evans is a proven performer at the NFL level. Ultimately, Harmon sees Harrison as a future star number-one X receiver, ready to make an impact in the league regardless of the comparison drawn.
