This year’s NFL Draft promises to be a very special one, as it is absolutely loaded with tons of talent and potential.
There are at least three or four potential franchise quarterbacks available this year, but there are also at least three wide receivers who could be superstars.
Leading that group of wideouts is Marvin Harrison Jr. of Ohio State, and on Twitter, he said that watching the draft in past years motivated him to get to where he is now.
Man nothin motived me more than watching the NFL draft every year and hoping that’d be me… and now I’m here🥲

His father, of course, was a legendary wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts in the late 1990s and 2000s, and he was a major part of their memorable 2006 squad that finally broke through and won the Super Bowl championship.
Many seem to feel he can equal the success his father, who made it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was able to achieve in 13 NFL seasons.
The younger Harrison had over 1,200 yards and 14 receiving touchdowns apiece in both of the last two seasons at Ohio State, and he was a unanimous All-American both years.
He has a unique combination of natural talent and skills that should drive opposing defensive backs crazy for years to come at the next level.
The only question is where he will be selected in Thursday’s draft.
The Arizona Cardinals have the No. 4 pick, and they already have a solid quarterback in Kyler Murray, so the younger Harrison would seem to make sense for them.
But there are rumors that at least one team will trade for that No. 4 pick and use it on a quarterback, likely J.J. McCarthy.
In that case, Harrison could fall a few slots, especially since the Los Angeles Chargers, who are at No. 5, could also trade down.
