However, there are now rumors that it might not materialize because of one missing quality. One NFL offensive assistant coach is not happy with Harrison’s lack of “top-end” speed, according to Bruce Feldman of The Athletic.
“To me, Harrison isn’t the best,” the coach remarked.
“Malik Nabers of LSU is ranked first on my list, and I believe he is ranked highly on many lists as well. Simply put, he’s not like me. It’s not directed at Marvin, I guess; it’s just that Nabers is that amazing. His dexterity with the ball in his hands is very exceptional. He simply accelerates differently. His explosive is unique. Though Tyreek Hill’s speed sets him apart from all other players in the league, Nabers is just as explosive off the line of scrimmage and possesses a similar burst of speed.
He moves just as quickly as the one pursuing him. He will flee from whoever. Deion would have gone 4.21 or something if he was chasing him. He’s the best wide receiver prospect since Chase, and he looks even better on tape, in my opinion. This guy is unique.
Harrison may end up suffering as a result of his choice to skip Ohio State’s Pro Day and the NFL Scouting Combine’s on-field testing.
Harrison more than makes up for any evaluators’ concerns about his top end speed in other aspects, including as route running and dependable hands.
