Marvin Harrison Jr. Hailed by Cardinals Fans as Kyler Murray's WR1 in NFL Draft 2024

Marvin Harrison Jr. is heading to the desert.

The Ohio State star wide receiver was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 4 pick in Thursday night's NFL draft after his outstanding college career.

Harrison was the first wide receiver off the board, which doesn't come as much as a surprise given his performance in his three seasons with the Buckeyes. Last season, Harrison had 1,211 receiving yards, 14 touchdowns and was a Heisman Trophy finalist. In 2022, he had 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns.

After Harrison was drafted, Cardinals fans praised the selection and expressed their excitement for quarterback Kyler Murray to have a new No. 1 receiver option, including from Murray himself.

The Cardinals gained a major talent with Harrison, and watching him catch passes from Murray will be exciting for years to come.

Harrison now joins a young but promising Arizona squad. The Cardinals had a disappointing 4-13 season while quarterback Murray worked his way back from injury, but are looking to improve with a strong offensive core.

With Harrison on the roster, Murray has an outstanding talent to catch his passes, and the duo could be the future of the Cardinals. Last year, Murray had 1,799 passing yards and 10 touchdowns in 10 games.

Harrison adds to an offensive core that includes running back James Conner, wide receivers Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch and tight end Trey McBride.

Arizona has reached the postseason just one time in the last eight seasons and is looking to get back on track. While the young roster will need some time to get acclimated, there's no denying the potential the Cardinals have.

Drafting Harrison just adds to that potential, and things could be looking up in Arizona very soon.
