The 2024 NFL Draft class is filled with several prospects who have been highly touted for several years.
One of the deepest positions in this class is wide receiver, and many believe at least six could be taken in the first round of the draft.
While there are several solid prospects at the position, Marvin Harrison Jr. is commonly viewed as the best of the bunch.
He was recently interviewed ahead of the draft by Aditi Kinkhabwala of CBS Sports, where he highlighted his thoughts on his potential draft position.
“Whether I’m the first receiver, second receiver, third receiver, it doesn’t really matter to me. I just want to go to a situation that’s right for me and I can perform and help the team win,” Harrison said.

At least in this interview, Harrison seems content to be taken by whatever team takes a chance on him.
His father was excellent in the NFL, which puts a lot of expectations on Harrison to succeed.
He seems more than up to the challenge, and after watching his impressive college tape, NFL scouts and team personnel tend to agree.
The general consensus is that the Arizona Cardinals will take Harrison with the No. 4 pick, given their team’s need at the position.
Whether the draft plays out as expected remains to be seen, especially since the night of the draft can often result in chaos and unexpected results.
First-round receivers have played well in the NFL over the past several seasons, and if that trend continues, teams will be elated to draft a player of Harrison’s caliber.
