Michael Wilson highlighted the most surprising attributes of the Cardinals' new rookie.
Marvin Harrison Jr. is considered one of the most can't-miss prospects in recent NFL history, fresh off of a stellar career with the Ohio State Buckeyes. Recently one of his Cardinals teammates, Michael Wilson, shared thoughts on his impressions of the Buckeyes rookie.
The thoughts came in video form as well as an honest take by Cardinals QB Kyler Murray on starting his sixth season in the NFL. The Cardinals' top three offseason trade targets were also revealed.
Wilson's thoughts on Harrison confirm what many already know: he could be a threat not just for Rookie of the Year, but for the Pro Bowl in his first season in the National Football League.
Wilson Jr.'s admission on MH Jr.
Harrison Jr. was lauded for his unbelievable workout prior to the NFL Draft Combine during which onlookers remarked that he looked like he was shot out of a cannon due to his incredible acceleration off the line of scrimmage.
“I think his presence is going to help a lot because he's one of those receivers where whatever role you give him, he can I think be the best…one of the best in the league at that role,' Wilson said.
“Whether it's an outside receiver, who's going to be a guy that you go to third down because he has the ball skills to play on third down; he can be inside receiver…He's a red zone threat.”
The full interview was shared by PHNX Cardinals on Twitter, during which the Cardinals wide receiver called Harrison Jr. a player who “doesn't really have a weakness in his game”
“I’m raving about him because he doesn’t really have a weakness in his game.”

Cardinals' passing game outlook
Last season, Kyler Murray and the Cardinals finished near the middle of the NFL in passing yardage per game at just over 324 yards per contest. For 2024, a resurgence could be in the works. The Cardinals are expected to have Murray fully healthy for the first time in a long time along with running back James Conner, Michael Wilson, Harrison Jr. and Zay Jones at the wide receiver positions.
If the defense can improve, the Cardinals could be a surprising contender this season in the NFC.
