The main focus of Marvin Harrison Jr. is his choice to skip pre-draft testing and workouts. The Ohio State receiver, who was optimistic about his abilities and anticipated draft position, decided to stick with his current film.

Harrison Jr. declined to participate in the combine, Ohio State’s Pro Day, and media interviews even though he was a top-10 talent and the Cardinals’ favorite with the fourth overall pick.

Harrison Jr. stressed his emphasis on getting ready for the NFL season over certain pre-draft activities as he gave his reasoning for the decision.

He was advised by his Hall of Fame father, Marvin Harrison, to put more emphasis on his football training than on showing up at scouting activities. After seeing his three years of footage from Ohio State, teams have shown confidence in his skills.

Harrison Jr. doesn’t let the uncertainty surrounding his draft destination deter him from attending the draft for the “lifetime opportunity” to shake the commissioner’s hand upon selection. He never wavers in his resolve to play professional football and maintains an attitude of gratitude for whatever comes next.
