Marvin Harrison Jr. Says His 'Goal is to Be the Best Receiver' in NFL History

Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is setting modest aims for his career as he prepares to hear his name called in the 2024 NFL draft.

"My goal is to be best receiver to ever play," he said in an interview with ESPN's Marty Smith.

That's a common target for any young athlete entering the pros. In the case of Harrison, you feel like there's actually a chance he can make good on the statement.

The 21-year-old grew up around one of the most prolific pass-catchers of his generation. The elder Marvin Harrison is fifth all-time in receptions and touchdown catches and ninth in receiving yards.
