Mark Harrison: Video Highlights for Former Rutgers Wide Receiver

Rutgers wide receiver Mark Harrison has great size for the NFL at 6'3" and 231 lbs.

He had an outstanding high school career, winning two state championships and averaging a truly remarkable 27.4 yards. 

His career at Rutgers had its ups and downs, with a spectacular sophomore effort followed by a lackluster junior season and a partial recovery his senior year.

He finished his college career with 107 receptions for 1,769 yards and 18 touchdowns. Harrison's size and athleticism should intrigue some NFL teams who will look to develop him into a physically formidable talent.

He has been working out with similarly-sized Bears WR Brandon Marshall to hone his skills in anticipation of the NFL. 

Here is a look at some of his more striking highlights.

Bodies out Defender to Get One-Handed TD Grab

In this clip, Harrison's physicality is on display as he battles his defender on the outside.

Harrison wins the one-on-one battle as both make a play for the ball. Harrison uses his body to come back in for the ball as he snatches it away—and does it one-handed, no less.

He keeps his feet chugging enough to outrun a dive tackle from his defender to make it into the end zone for a touchdown.

Sheds Tackle and Escapes Defender to Go for Long Touchdown

In this highlight, Harrison runs a hitch five yards from the line of scrimmage.

He is elusive enough while still taking some of the hit from the first defender, shedding him off and cutting toward the outside to avoid the second defender.

After that, Harrison is able to accelerate past a third defender and run the rest of the way home for the 68-yard touchdown.

Outruns Defender Down Sideline for TD
