Marvin Harrison Jr. vs. Malik Nabers: Here’s Who Is Better.

Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers are in a battle for WR1 in the 2024 NFL draft, and today we will determine who between them is better. Harrison Jr. hails from The Ohio State University and is the easy choice; he is tall, fast, strong, and has put up prolific stats, however, LSU’s Malik Nabers has everything it takes to dethrone him come draft day. Nabers has rare movement ability, an endless highlight reel of long explosive catches, and in my opinion more high-end potential, despite having a lower floor. Who is going to be WR1 come draft day? This week’s episode uses the coaches all 22 to analyze the Ohio State Buckeyes Wide Receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and LSU’s Wide Receiver Malik Nabers as they prepare for the 2024 NFL draft.

Give me your elevator pitch on whether you think Nabers or Harrison Jr. is the WR1.

[@rawswisher43]

One played with a top 3 NFL pick his whole career. The other played with a guy that will be in the UFL or CFL in a few years and stroud for a single year which isn’t much.

[@PsychixNFL]

If Marv can be a true X and play the "DeAndre Hopkins role", why gamble on a receiver with a marginally higher ceiling and so much more to prove?

[@andrewrichter2231]

I think that MHJ is the better prospect, but isn't it disrespectful to not but Odunze in the conversation considering many believe that he is better than Nabers? I've seen most people say that MHJ is 1, and Nabers is 2, bur thinking that Odunze is better than Nabers is more common than thinking that Nabers is better than MHJ.

[@PsychixNFL]

@@andrewrichter2231 Many analysts that prioritize physical traits have Nabers over Marv, leaving Odunze third. Analysts that prioritize refinement have Marv over Odunze. He's not looked at in that light because neither camp sees him as potentially WR1.

[@garybyoosey3163]

If you think about what Alex said in this video and watch the plays, there is a reason Nabers has so many more YAC yds. Alex said that: 1) LSU ran a basic offense where Nabers mostly did stop and go routes. 2) Opposing defenses stopped pressing Nabers. This is why he was wide open on those stop routes and had so much room to run after the catch. You can get open on stop routes all day when the defender is 8-12 yds from you at the snap. Marv is pressed on every play in this video, and he doesn't run a single stop route, and there are a few plays here where he is wide open with room to run and the QB doesn't find him or misses his throw. There are 2 plays in this video that Nabers is pressed and he does stop routes in both with no YAC.

[@e2rqey]

Flip Nabers And Harrison. You can't win with routes consistently with brute force at the NFL level. Especially if the team he gets drafted to tries to line him up at an outside receiver position instead of in the slot. Not to mention the slot receiver generally takes more physical punishment as well. Marvin is far more versatile and has a toolkit which translates better the the NFL and can be applied to farmore situations. Its as much a mental game vs NFL DBs as it is a physical one. He's deceptively athletic, he runs his routes so smooth and varies his speed on routes instead of going 100% all out on every play it can seem like he's less athletic. The thing is that its the complete opposite, his technique and movement is so refined that he's able to achieve separation and make DBs massively overcomit with minimal effort. he's winning his routes comprehensively with a fraction of the energy that Nabers does. he uses finess, speed, power, and misdirection. Not only do these translate better to the NFL, they are tools which last for a much longer time. If you have to rely on just being physically better than the defender on every play, once you loose that you have nothing else. Players like Larry Fitzgerald, D-Hop, and Marvin Harrison Sr. were/are able to have such long careers in the NFL because most of what makes them productive in the NFL doesn't diminish over time. If anything they actually get more powerful as they get more experience. If all you have is the ability to have that insane burst and extra step on defenders, you may be good for a few seasons but you're not going to be a top WR for 10+ years. Watch Marvins tape and you can see how often he's able to just completely cook DBs not through using raw speed, but just by making them mentally and physically overcommit to the wrong route. hes so deep in their head that hes not just winning one rep at a time. hes made them stop trusting their own instincts. past a certain point they either commit 100% or hesitate and play off him, but no matter what they decide to do he will make them wrong. In the 4th quarter of a SuperBowl when everyone's exhausted. Marvin is going to still be able to beat DBs, and he's going to have far more energy left in the tank than someone like Nabers whos been going full-afterburners on every play for the entire game. Its not like Nabers can just get coached to have the kind of technique and WR IQ that Marvin has either. He can absolutely improve, don't get me wrong. And he almost certainly will once he gets in the NFL. But Marvin has developed those skills over an entire lifetime of being taught by his NFL hall of fame WR father. They are second nature to him. Its the precision of the execution, all the tiny details, making the cut at the exact right millisecond, chopping the arm at just the right spot on the wrist. Its all those little things being done perfectly that's the difference between it working and it not working. its also why he can make it work without unnecessary exertion. All that extra effort is only needed to make up for lack of technique/sloppy execution. All that being said, Nabers would normally be the best WR in his draft year. But Marvin is actually a generational talent. That term gets thrown around way to much these days. But it absolutely applies to him. Very very few WRs can win routes so hard that they can basically create an uncontested catch with such little effort/exertion. If he's able to continue doing that at the NFL level its going to be amazing to watch.

Just for clarification, which WR did you want to see go to AZ? With Nabers, you said you'd like to see a team use him similarly to AJ Brown in Tennessee (over the middle), but said Kyler doesnt target the middle. I love Nabers, but a bigger target on the outside like MHJ feels like a perfect fit for Kyler's skillset.

[@davidgough8599]

Did you watch this season? He worked fantastic over the middle using the TE and wide out

[@tanimal2042]

I completely agree. I love what I saw from Kyler under Petzing. I think MHJ is what that offense is missing more so than Nabers though.@@davidgough8599

[@ki2726]

Kyler loved targeting Trey McBride so he does like targeting the middle if he has a reviver he trusts

[@K1forMVP]

Alex is wrong on Murray. Kyler targeted the middle the 2nd most of ANY QB in the NFL Last year, only reason he didn’t with Kliff is his offense didn’t use the middle a lot. McBride did all his damage with 81recs/881YDs across the middle, Murray can definitely see the middle of the field.

[@NinoVerse22]

Exactly Kyler does better with a big body receiver to work the outside it's proven

[@broq9194]

Nabors is not NEARLY as rough and unpolished as this guy is saying. That's very exaggerated, just creating a narrative. But his final assessment of Nabors having higher potential is spot on, and high lighting Nabors' movement ability is also correct. What he neglected to high light is Nabors' speed out of his break, WHICH IS PHENOMENAL, and is the single most important skill/quality a receiver in the NFL can have, because it's the greatest skill that creates separation, gets you open, and creates YAC all at the same time, and also makes your QB's job MUCH easier as he gets to throw to a receiver who is WIDE AZZ OPEN as opposed to throwing contested balls in tight windows. Nabors is not nearly as "risky" and "unpolished" as this guy is saying, and saying Nabors "can't" play the X position is just nonsense.

No he is that untouchable. Ppl are enamored with the YAC and Speed Nabers has ands that’s good but Marc has speed and elite technique that trumps all that. Nabers is an elite prospect too WR prospect Marv is a level above that. He’s literally a bullet proof pick for whoever picks him he we will come in and already be ahead of what all the nfl coaches are telling him because he’s been doing those exact things his whole life and that’s the difference between and raw elite athletic wr in Nabers and MHJ

[@NyquillaGorillaKilla]

@@smercxz he might be in todays perception, but in a few years I think we’ll see that the gap was a lot closer than people think. What Malik can do after the catch more than makes up any difference imo. The missed tackles speaks for itself. MHJ- 6 Malik- 36 I think those are the numbers but I maybe off a few.

@@markd7762 you’re not understanding how much 5-10lbs of lean mass actually is for someone who has trained as long as he has. Building muscle isn’t some magic. Nfl programs are typically geared toward injury prevention and recover, not adding strength and mass. 5-10 more pounds means a reduction in speed and quickness. It’s kind of unheard of for a top player at a skill position to gain more weight in their career. If anything they lose weight to keep speed. I’m not saying he can’t do it, but it will make him a worse football player.

[@KenjiMapes]

Nice video & good analysis. Thanks for your work on this Alex. Both have an onus of pedigree hanging over them. Now I’m a diehard NY Giants fan & thrilled that Malik Nabers is wearing Giants blue. I was actually torn between Nabers & Rome Odunze where my preference changed a few times. It’s a basically just that - preference as you can’t basically lose in choosing any of the three. Back to onus. Marvin Harrison Jr was literally made to be a professional football player & wide receiver. He has the onus, specter & burden of having to live up to his pedigree & will forever be compared to his legendary father. Will it be a burden or blessing? If Wan’Dale & Hyatt can take next level leaps, then we should have one of the best WR groups in the league. Nabers has to live up to the LSU receiver hype train. Odell. Ja’Marr Chase. Etc It’s certainly no where near Harrison Jr’s pressure though. I’m sure they’ll be fine. The Giants needed a taller receiver but even though Nabers isn’t one of the taller receivers at 6’ we had to pick him because a #1 WR was our biggest need. He’s freaking explosive. When you watch his tape you can just see he plays at another speed & has that extra gear. Our receiving corps has a core of Nabers, Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson & Jalin Hyatt. That is a talented & impressive group. They’re all different & present as a balanced & deep group who have diverse skill sets. This is a group that could be very dangerous & productive. Nabers was one of the best prospects in the draft. Slayton is Mr Steady. Wan’Dale took a big leap after a rookie year in which he flashed but got hirt for the year around midway through. Jalin Hyatt showed off his world class speed & proved he isn’t a one-trick pony & is more polished than just a speed demon. But what a class of receivers. The 2024 receiver class will certainly go down in history. Two little asides. Of course the freaking Chiefs had to draft 40 year combine record smasher Xavier 4:21 Worthy😨🫤 FSU stud receiver Keon Colemen’s first presser went viral due to his charming personality & comedic charisma. The 6’4” 216lb Keon Coleman fell to the first pick in Round 2 due to his “slow” 4:61 combine 40 time despite strong production & excellent tape.

Kingsburys offense didn’t use the middle much so Kyler didn’t use the middle much, this new west coast offense does and Murray was one of the most efficient QBs in the NFL targeting the middle last year between 10-20YDs in the intermediate area between the numbers.

Marv is skill paired with size, has arguably the best hands and route running ability in the class (only person in the discussion on that is Ladd) and he’s already filled out his frame. Malik is an incredible talent but Marv is the definition of the term generational

[@AB-nv7bz]

Lol. Hype train anyone. 6’3” 200lbs with 4.5 speed isn’t generational. Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss were generational.

[@OBbroncos43]

It’s a 1a and 1b. Marvin’s last name definitely is a big reason he’s so hyped but he’s still an elite prospect

The thought of nabers speed and Herbert’s arm 🤤

[@steveparish4209]

As a Chargers fan who just watch Keenan Allen traded away to clear cap space, which was the right move btw, I love the fact they're sitting in the #5 spot and will likely get a crack at one of these two receivers. They went with Quentin Johnston last year over Zay Flowers, who was the safer pick, hoping Johnston's rawness could be coached up to his projected high ceiling. It hasn't happened yet so to me, if they get the choice, Harrison is the better pick. But, if he's gone and Nabers is there, you take him, for sure.

If the Titans take him watch out OMG D Hop, and Ridley on the outside with Nabers in the slot. Now that would be some firepower.

[@richardpcrowe]

I could just imagine Justin Herbert's deep ball skills with Malik Nabers' blazing speed. OTOH... would it not be fun if a team had both MHJ and Brenden Rice as receivers. Two ball catchers who are the sons of two of the elite wide receivers of all time.

[@malikking3]

Great video well done. Nabers is twitchy to me and that is good while Harrison Jr. is Technical to me which is also good. Depends on what traits the teams want but all in all can't go wrong with either. Nabers though has that elite level twitch and elite speed that you can't teach so he's the one for me.

[@slimeslime7968]

As a Ohio state fan both of them are what a reciever should have ability to catch the football speed and strength both have those but last season one had a better qb and one didn’t but all that doesn’t matter we could have opinions but the facts will be shown when they both step on the nfl field 💯

So... If the class is stacked with WRs . Get your best cornerback..???

[@DetroitTyler]

Nabers is electric with the ball in his hands, reminds me of Odell that way when he first entered the league, I think Harrison Jr is the better all around WR and is more NFL ready. Nabers needs some polish and I wouldn't be surprised if his ceiling is higher than Marvin Harrison's after a few seasons in the league. If Nabers can work on his releases that'll go a long long way.

[@devinjohnson9749]

Nabers put up those numbers while having another #1 elite WR on the field with him

And a elite quarterback throwing him the ball.

Emeke Egbuka might not be on the level of Brian Thomas Jr. but also could have easily been a first round selection had he declared. Nabers also had a Heisman winner throwing him the ball versus what Marvin Harrison Jr had.

but take into account that LSU is in the SEC, for me personally, this seperates MHJ and Nabers, MHJ is the more 'complete WR' but either option is great from the NFL teams@@Unknown-ox1yq

I'll be picking one of these guys for my fantasy rookie draft. Everyone says Harrison is the best, but when I watch them it seem like Marv doesn't create much separation. With Nabers it seems like there isn't anyone within 5 yards of him when he catches it. And he torches defenders and is way better after the catch than Marv. Let me know what you guys think. Who should I pick? I need help!

[@Hccxddfyujm]

Your a troll, pick Nabers and live with the consequences

[@garybyoosey3163]

Pay attention to how they are defended in this video. It's completely different. In the NFL, Nabers probably won't have the advantage of having no one within 10 yds of him when the ball is snapped.

MHJ reminds me of Michael Thomas of the Saints or KeyshawnJohnson with the bucs. Smooth route running and consistency. MHJ faced a lot of questionable corners at OSU. I like Nabers more after watching both of them play. Harrison does not bring that OMG plays. He has a bunch of nice play. A lot of average corners in college believe that they can beat him in press coverage because they do not fear MHJ speed. I doubt athleticism in the NFL. I could be wrong.

[@TreyBland-rr6xc]

Brian Thomas will be the best one

[@jmg999]

I'm curious to see how things play out for Harrison. I think that he's making a mistake going through the process w/out expert guidance. There's a reason that the same agents and managers are hired over and over again, and it's for their experience. I think that he made some poor decisions during the combine that could come back to hurt him down the road.
