Ohio State Pro Day is today, and teams have been informed that all-everything WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will not be working out for scouts. Will be relatively quiet in Columbus, with so many high-end draft prospects choosing to stay in school, no GMs or HCs scheduled to be there.


No workout at combine and skipped his interview. Is this kid just banking on his name and the hype train? Unless there is something else going on in the background, I don't think a lot of teams will appreciate his diva level being this high so early on.

Really liking my Nabers to be first non-QB bet each day.

Chickens are coming home to roost. He got by on hype from his name and THE Ohio State University, and his skills are subpar to other top wide receivers in this draft.

I think he’s still really good, but there isn’t an ounce of doubt that he’s the projected top WR on name alone. He belongs in the top 4 or so, but this lock to be the top guy is ridiculous.

Fall to later in the first round to get picked up by a better team with a QB? Genius!

I don’t hate it. I’ve always found the underwear Olympics kinda odd for top guys. Do the medicals and say “I’m a football player, see my tape, not me running around for your entertainment. If you want to draft me, draft me. If not, don’t. I don’t really have a choice in who picks me or not.”

But I’m the guy whoI loved when Joe Thomas didn’t go to the draft and went fishing with his dad instead.

Perhaps this is an NBA draft-type scenario and he has a promise already.

Hes banking on years of production, being 6'4", and running the fastest game speed in either NFL or college.

He probably just didn't prepare to run the 40 or just isn't good at it. He has speed on his tape so he doesn't need to prove it, but I'm sure skipping everything rubs some teams the wrong way.

He already knows/has a guarantee that ARI is taking him at #4

Remember the 90's?

Teams don't give a shite if the juice is worth the squeeze.

But yeah...he's not that special to draft regardless; have no clue the issue (injury?)...but teams want to see you put in the work to get drafted. Half the Combine is just showing work ethic and character.

Hmmmm, we’ll see. His play doesn’t wow me. If he were at Cincinnati and not OSU the hype wouldn’t be there for this guy. Oh yea, his name also drives some of his hype. He is a good college WR, nothing great. Definitely should NOT have been in NYC.
