Marvin Harrison Jr. came to the NFL last year with a lot of advance laurels. However, he did not fulfill the expectations. Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald now demonstratively strengthens the young receiver.
Larry Fitzgerald is the best wide receiver that the Arizona Cardinals have ever had in their ranks. In 2020 the NFL icon ended the career. Four years later, the cardinals in Marvin Harrison Jr. finally found the designated successor.
Its first season in the NFL went well, which was too little in terms of expectations. Although MHJ achieved almost 900 receiving yards and eight touchdowns at 62 receptions, he remained in a double -digit number of games under 50 receiving yards.
Over long distances of the season, it looked like quarterback Kyler Murray and Harrison still had to find each other. The fact that two other rookie receivers delivered huge in New York and Jacksonville with Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas did not help Marvin Harrison Jr.’s standing.
Fitzgerald naturally watches the young receiver very precisely and is now encouraging the Cardinals fans. “I saw a guy who made a lot of plays,” Fitzgerald told Theo Mackie of the “Arizona Republic”. “He did a really good job. If the ball came to him, he made his plays. He will only get better, so I’m looking forward to two,” said Fitzgerald optimistic.
NFL: Similarities to Fitzgerald
And if someone needs to know, it is Larry Fitzgerald. In his rookie season, he had a very similar stat. At the time, Fitzgerald posted 780 yards, eight touchdowns and 58 receptions.
Nevertheless, he put on a fabulous career, which he completed with 1,432 receptions and 17,492 Receiving Yards, which means two second place in the eternal NFL ranking. When it comes to touchdowns, Fitzgerald is in sixth place with 121 and a place behind Marvin Harrison Sr.
In this, the young Marvin Harrison naturally already has a big mentor. However, if a advice from Larry Fitzgerald is desired, he would give it with joy.
“If he ever needs something, I told him that I was always there for him when I can help,” said Fitzgerald. “But luckily he has a father who was much better than me, so he can address him at any time,” said the Cardinals legend.
