Is Marvin Harrison Jr. the GOAT WR prospect? | 2024 NFL Draft Scouting Report & Film

Marvin Harrison Jr. has been getting an incredible amount of hype for the 2024 NFL Draft, but is it justified?

1. great vid 2. great usage of showing clips that prove your point even if the outcome of the play wasn't what they wanted 3. solid, unannoying voice 4. i subbed keep it up

[@FallBallSports]

Appreciate it man! Thanks for tuning in

[@jmarshall3150]

Would love to see him and DJ Moore together. Moore would be a great mentor as well

[@FallBallSports]

They would arguably be the NFL's best young wide receiver duo in a couple of years

[@San.Garcia]

Not going to happen, the bears are dumb, they will draft Caleb and trade Fields.

[@JordanR34948]

if he learns to tempo his speed better like dj omg i think we will have the best duo for the next 5-7 years

[@sumyungchong]

That's what im hoping for!! If they keep Fields they better end up with MHJ

[@ggreenvevcsmithies8961]

I think JF1 can succeed with DJ Moore and MHJR and potentially one of the top tackles or DE with pick 9

I appreciate the support man, thanks for noticing what actually goes into making these!

[@jackhaber245]

I've been trying to figure out the comp for him...and AJ Green seems perfect. Traditional receiver not necessarily the flashiest (still makes ridiculous catches) guy but 1:1 he's always gonna win.

[@DM7817]

Yes, great comp. Green, Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson are the three WRs in the last 15 years who come to mind as the same level of sure fire studs as Harrison. Going to be a great WR in the NFL.

[@FallBallSports]

100% agreed!

[@DM7817]

@@fatpatlives1998 if you havent looked at AJ Green the same way as Julio and Cal, u might need to watch more Georgia/Cincy highlights.

[@brandononeil9596]

You pair MHJ with a receiver like DJ Moore you already have the elite YAC receiver in moore. Let MHJ develope some YAC abilities and its over

[@FallBallSports]

That would be arguably the best wide receiver duo in the NFL in 1-2 years!

[@richmargin6082]

Nabors is very similar to DJ moore. He has crazy YAC. I agree that MHJ doesn’t have much yac so you use him in that way. Where do you need to ball? On the 30 yard line? Then throw it to him at the 30 and he will get it. He would be a great WR to go to the Bears because it would open up much more creative plays when you have 2 different style WRs that many cant cover either of them.

[@FallBallSports]

Yep that'd be a big upgrade for Chicago no doubt!

[@1SuperD1]

If his biggest weakness is YAC that doesn’t worry me at all. Who cares about YAC if you can catch almost everything and you have crazy route running to always get open.

[@terriblegamerdotexe1527]

Yac is one of the biggest things. He could struggle with being a WR1 if he cant

[@1SuperD1]

@@terriblegamerdotexe1527 he’s really been struggling so far right? Lol

[@FallBallSports]

I agree and disagree. YAC is definitely important, but you can more than get by by just being 'good' at it and not 'elite'. It'll limit his ceiling, but I doubt it will prevent him from being a dominant player at the next level.

[@PeteZam]

@legamerdotexe1527 then how do WR like moss exist? one of the greatest WR of all time, who also was very average at YAC. basically in every top 3 list of WR ever, and he has a 25 minute long highlight reel of TDs, and i can think of one play, the screen his rookie season vs dallas, as his only massive YAC play ever. you dont need to be great at YAC to be effective. Moss constantly would avoid contact and go down easy. he rarely tried for YAC, or even worked the middle of the field at all, and hes still one of the greatest ever. then you got guys like larry fitzgerald, who werent really known for YAC. he was known for getting open, having great hands, and being awesome in contested catch scenarios, and hes still top 20 WR of all time, some rank him even higher than that. not every WR needs to be TO or jerry rice, and have 40%+ of their yards on highlight plays be YAC

[@1SuperD1]

@@FallBallSports getting open and catching the ball is 1000x more important than YAC. MHJ is going to get targeted a lot and he’s going to have intermediate and deep routes. He’s not a guy that has to rely on tosses and sweeps like some of the fast guys that are limited in skills

[@bigmike12211]

Idk, I like Nabers more…

[@FallBallSports]

Nabers is definitely a dog, would be the runaway WR1 in most draft classes!

[@reivang7196]

YAC is really big in the NFL right now, all teams that have YAC monsters are teams that are winning.

[@FallBallSports]

Yep that seems to be the way the league is heading (especially thanks to Tyreek, Deebo, Ja'Marr). There's still room for traditional receivers, but elite YAC ability is one thing that MHJ will lack at the next level

[@garybyoosey3163]

Tee Higgins caught a short pass and took it 80yds to the house in their week 16 game. MHJ is so fast that if he gets a little crease, he is gone.

[@thirty-thirty8989]

Great breakdown! What do you think about Xavier Leggete?

[@FallBallSports]

Thanks! I've heard good things about him, but haven't been able to get a deep dive in on him yet. Hoping to soon!

[@thirty-thirty8989]

@FallBallSports thanks for the reply. He reminds me of another Gamecock, Deebo Samuel who I heard you compare other receivers too. I'm a Bears fan and would love to see him and DJ Moore paired together.

almost every big wr like harrison and oduzne struggle with lateral movement because theyre so big. nabers is only 6 ft like odell, jamar, so its easier for them to make moves in a phonebooth

[@JordTheeNord]

The size, speed and technique combination is something we haven't seen since Julio. If he makes it to 3 I really want my Pats to grab him I don't care that we don't have a qb yet.

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

If the Bears dont trade away, this is the dude that Fields needs, and a Tackle to protect him at #9

[@ryaneugenelawrencewalls1987]

Marvelous Mesmerizing Marvin Harrison Jr is a awesome amazing wide receiver at his best i do hope that he will build his own legacy into the NFL just like how his hall of fame father did with Peyton Manning in Indianapolis Colts when he won a super bowl championship in 2006 without question he's so ready i would love to see his Harrison Jr win a super bowl championship with who or whatever team picks him taking a chance to roll the dice on the best finest young man in the whole world so i wish him the absolute best of luck on his quest for the opportunity of a lifetime

[@FallBallSports]

Lol you're a big fan of him I see, great player for sure!

[@Gk54493]

I don’t know if Marvin Harrison Jr or Devonta Smith was a better prospect. Both were amazing and will be successful and future hall of famers I believe.

[@jackhaber245]

Devonta's size was the only thing holding him back from being a perfect prospect...hasn't mattered much tho

[@FallBallSports]

I really liked Devonta but I'd go with MHJ. It's pretty close, but I think his size gives him the advantage and projects him to be better on contested catches and have better durability

[@micnak3574]

As a big AZ Cards fan, I want MHJ to play in the desert. He will be as great as Larry Fitz, if not greater. I just hope that MHJ will still be available when the Cards make their pick (4th overall). I keep praying that the first 3 players chosen are all QBs.

[@sunshizzleyou]

The only critics were that he’s underweight, not elite after the catch and not Deebo Samuel? Assuming we could probably go a little deeper than that, no?

[@FallBallSports]

Feel free to make your own scouting reports!

[@michaelharris7445]

I think the reason why most people (including myself) have him ranked #1WR in this stacked WR draft class is because he's the "safest" pick. Feels like, looks like, plays like a can't miss prospect. Very high floor.

[@FallBallSports]

Insanely high floor, arguably the most 'guaranteed' player to come out of college in the last few years.

[@1bucciarelli]

I think nabers is just as safe

[@FallBallSports]

I would disagree@@1bucciarelli

[@robertmaggs4804]

He's really good but I don't see him as next level great

[@FallBallSports]

What's he missing in your opinion?

[@ryaneugenelawrencewalls1987]

As a Steelers fan i will be ecstatic and excited to have this guy in the black and gold but then again I'm sure that the Houston Texans would be extremely thrilled to draft this guy so he can reunite with Stroud in H-Town for sure

[@edgarorozco3513]

He's going top 3. No way those teams get him unless they mortgage their future

[@PhoenixRiseup577]

💀what Texans you gotta be joke

To who? The Bears?

[@tanneredge9774]

He needs Davante Adams to mentor him on route running. That’s why I want the Raiders to get him and a QB.

That offense would be dangerous for sure

[@617Sage]

Patriots 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@elfizz99]

Hear me out. The pats are probably going to draft jayden daniels. The cardinals and the chargers are not going to draft a qb, so they trade down with the chargers, so that the chargers can get an mhj and herbert link up

[@FallBallSports]

That's possible! That + a half-decent coach would make the Chargers veryyy dangerous

[@RWildekrav66]

Greatest of ALL TIME ????? MJH ? Give me Randy Moss every day of the week , twice on Sundays and Holy days of Obligation ! And Jerry Rice , just for the heck of it . When and if he does what they did then he may have earned it .
