Ohio State standout Marvin Harrison Jr. is slated to go first overall in the most recent NFL mock draft.
Star receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Ohio State Buckeyes could become the first receiver selected first overall in the NFL Draft since Keyshawn Johnson in 1996. Marvin Harrison Jr., an Ohio State wide receiver, is predicted by Sports Illustrated to go first overall to the Chicago Bears in the most recent NFL Mock Draft.
Harrison won the Fred Biletnikoff Award, which is presented to the best receiver in the nation, with 67 receptions for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns, the latter of which led the Big Ten.
The expected number one choice is a two-time consensus First Team All-American First Team member who made history by being the only Ohio State athlete to have two seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards. When it comes to receiving yards and touchdowns, he is ranked third and fourth all-time, respectively.
Harrison has been a unanimous choice amongst the top five, but there has been some disagreement over whether he or one of the quarterbacksโSouthern California’s Caleb Williams or North Carolina’s Drake Mayeโshould go first overall.Before the Buckeyes fell to No. 9 Missouri 14-3, Harrison decided not to play in the Cotton Bowl Classic.
Nevertheless, if everything continues as it is, the Bears, who are presently expected to select first overall after trading for Justin Fields from the Panthers, will probably stick with Fields.
Fields has thrown five touchdown passes and rushed for three more since his injury comeback, helping Chicago to a 4-2 record.Harrison hopes to add his name to the line of famous Buckeyes receivers selected in the first round, which already includes Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.On April 25, Harrison will wait in Detroit to hear his name called.
