Marvin Harrison Jr. 🐦 Welcome to the Arizona Cardinals

[@thesmokingchair]

Easy to fall in love with Nabers' explosiveness. But, I can remember a long list of wide receivers that were explosive and killed it in college and never panned out in the NFL. MHJ just already looks like a 5 year vet and checks all the boxes physically and everyone says his work ethic and desire to be great are unparalleled.

[@matthewarrojas5183]

I think Josh is spot on when he notes that MHJ does everything so cleanly that it's easy to overlook him. It's easier for Nabers to "wow" you with speed, but at the end of the day I think MHJ is such a jack of all trades that he should firmly be WR1

[@chiefw3573]

Wr with elite explosion like Tyreek Hill, Mega-Tron, Randy Moss are typical the ones who game breakers. Not the jack of all trades imo. I’ll take elite explosion.

[@matthewarrojas5183]

​@chiefw3573 totally agree that Nabers could end up WR1 by the end of their rookie contracts. Personally, I just lean MHJ at this point based on what I saw from him in college and I feel like there's a lot less project there, but I totally get why ppl would want to take the upside swing with Nabers

[@J..P..]

​@@chiefw3573Marv is plenty explosive enough. And I can cherry pick wrs as well. Justin Jefferson, Larry Fitz, Reggie Wayne, Anquan Bolden and Jerry Rice.

[@Flirken1]

@@chiefw3573the greatest WRs ever ran a 4.71 and 4.63 40 times respectively. Rice and fitz is who I’m talking about. Explosiveness will only get you so far, ask Dez Bryant. Without his speed, Tyreek is mid. His route running is nothing special. Run blocking and route running and durability are far more important characteristics for receivers to have. How did that explosiveness work out for John Ross? Randy moss and megatron weren’t just explosive, they were giants, who could run fast, catch everything, and run routes, run block, etc. explosiveness is just a bonus.

[@troy8231]

@@chiefw3573agree. The top WRs in the NFL always have elite speed but everyone knows that’s what MH Jr is lacking.

[@Stephen-kj8ne]

Why is everyone ignoring that MHJ was tracked at over 22 MPH vs Youngstown St this year? Watch his long TD vs WKU this year and tell me "the long speed isn't elite." When he needs to open it up he absolutely can, but he also played the majority of this season on an injured ankle after the ND game.

[@Oh_deer777]

i had the exact same thought about him. it's the "effortlessness", the gracefulness in his stride, the ease of his movements that make people think he's not as good as he really is. you watch nabers and every moment seems forceful/impactful and so people assume he must be a more dynamic player but i wonder if it's not that simple. harrison just seems like he's gliding through air, and nabers seems like he's chopping wood.

[@paulmysliborski4832]

As a Giants fan, I am glad MHJ was drafted to the Cardinals. He has a real QB and will not be running routes in vain. The Giants drafted Malik Nabers, and this poor kid is doomed to failure. I am also a Wolverines fan, and I watched MHJ knife through that D like butter when no one else could. Congrats, Arizona. You guys drafted a HELL of a player and person.

[@brettparsons7747]

Im taking nabers just because of the explosive and elusive traits. I love them both and it feels like choosing between AJ Green and Jamar Chase. Cant loose either way, just prefer Nabers

[@braydenschmidtke171]

Nabers feels more like AB to me than Jamarr

[@JonahsWail]

Looks pretty clear he’s the #1 NFL receiver prospect. Maybe more of a debate if he or Nabers is the #1 fantasy receiver prospect.

[@shaharyar4093]

Finally, I've been waiting for this one

[@Kharmatos13]

I got him as Larry Fitzgerald. Tall and lanky but literally catches everything.

[@sufjams]

Marv is gonna have a great career with Kyler. Look what Kyler was able to do with a high point receiver like Hop? And like they said Marv is 2 inches taller and faster.

[@SouthernCodester91]

He is much better than Larry coming out of the draft, I love Fitz but even Fitz agrees that MHJ is a far better athlete and talent. He is going to be special!

[@sufjams]

@@SouthernCodester91 Fitz is Fitz because the work ethic and grind never died down in him. If MHJ has 80% of that focus he could be one of the GOATs.

[@Keengocrazy]

Anyone who doesn’t have him as WR1 doesn’t know ball. He’s the best prospect in the whole class

[@SouthernCodester91]

Raised by a respected hall of famer. This guys linage is unreal lol.

[@SamCastaneda87]

Damn, feels like you guys are pusing Rome Odunze out of the No1 conversation and only talking Harrison vs Nabers.. I mean not just you, other people in the media too but I really don't think he should be overlooked, wouldn't surprise me if he ends up as the best one.

[@williamhermann6635]

Odunze doesnt belong anywhere near the #1 spot. MHJ is #1 and Nabers/Thomas Jr. are 2A/2B. I dont even have Odunze in my top 5. Hes a great college player whos really good at a lot of things, but he doesnt separate and if youre a big guy who cant separate youre basically Allen Lazard. Those guys are a dime a dozen. Odunze can be a nice player in the league but if youre taking a receiver anywhere near the top 10 that dude better be a borderline generational player. Odunze is far from a generational talent.

[@ricardorivera7549]

odunze isnt close to nabers and mhj tho. there is a clear gap separating them. and odunze is good fs but nabers and harrison are just different

[@mxfilms9738]

Well any of them can end up the best one stays wise if they end up with a better qb. That matters as much as their ability

[@yes.2144]

I’m glad we sucked this year because I haven’t been this excited over a Cardz player being drafted in awhile. 😂

[@Lyfe2Shortz]

Rome and Marvin the true x WRs. Nabers is a dj Moore. Give me Rome and Marvin

[@ricardorivera7549]

....and how is moore not a true x wr? cuz he isnt a pure slot. In this era u got amon ra st brown and cooper kupp being true alphas from the slot. Gimme marvin and then nabers ahead of rome. besides its not like nabers is small, he is 6ft w 4.35 speed and had success on the outside in college. zero indication of him not being able to be a "true" x.

[@itsReplay]

One thing that bugs me that I keep seeing about MHJ, they’re saying his yac has improved but there’s context to that. He had 5 missed tackles forced last year. His yac is not from making guys miss or running over guys, it’s simply from beating worse competition deep down the field and scoring long tds.

[@TheGreatOne602]

I agree as a cardinal fan, I was worried about mhj being to easy to tackle. It seems like he goes down t first contact. While Malik Naybers remains me of a deebo Samuel. I’m hoping MHJ works on Yac his rookie season.

[@BlackKansas-iw8gf]

Uh that QB is solid af

[@grantith02]

I think Malik nabers is better because I am a lsu fan and I watched him irl That is my unbiased expert opinion

[@jensvold415]

I think it’s a bit of recency bias to say that he’s safer than Amari Cooper. I know he’s been good/solid rather than great but Amari had a hell of a profile. Early production, athletic, dominance, competition etc were all there for Amari. Harrison JR. might have a better career but Coopers profile was as good as anyone’s.
