Marvin Harrison Jr.’s connectivity with Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray left room for improvement. The numbers were shrug-worthy for a receiver taken in the top five picks of an NFL Draft.
It’s not all bad, even if it was relatively underwhelming.
Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema used “advanced data, film evaluation and scheme analysis” to rank the top 32 receivers in the NFL looking ahead to the 2025 season, and while Harrison comes in at No. 26 overall and the fifth group of tiers Sikkema created, there is reason for optimism.
Harrison Jr.’s rookie season may have felt underwhelming at times, but it was far from poor. He earned a 77.2 receiving grade overall and a 91.8 grade against single coverage, highlighting his ability to win one-on-one matchups as a true No. 1 receiver.

Harrison finished his rookie year with 885 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
His touchdown total flashed his one-on-one potential, ranking tied for 12th in the NFL at his position. His 14.2 yards per reception ranked 22nd as well.
The rookie-year numbers reflected that Harrison and Murray can get more in tune with one another. According to PFF, his 114 targets included 45 “uncatchable targets,” which led the NFL.
The Ohio State product told reporters this week that he’s added muscle and put in offseason work with Murray to take those next steps. Harrison spoke of his urgency to help the team improve by getting better himself.
“I think we got to make the playoffs,” the receiver said. “We have all the pieces we need. We just got to go out there and execute at this point, and that’s why they brought me here, to help this team win games.”
