Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray says the addition of rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. takes Arizona’s offense to new heights.
“I think this takes us to another level,” Murray said, via ESPN. “When you have a guy who is capable of winning one-on-one, obviously he has to do it and he knows it. We all know that, but as far as manipulating coverage and things like that, you’ve got a guy out there who can do it and even if he’s not open, he’s open. I’m excited to be able to build on that with him, but when he does what he does, yeah, I expect our offense to be at the top of the league.”
Everyone on the team recognizes that the No. 4 overall pick is special: Harrison said earlier in the offseason that he made a point of lining up behind the veteran wide receivers during practice, trying to show that he knows his place as a rookie, but it quickly became clear that he should be at the front of the line.
“I didn’t want to come in here with a big head,” Harrison said. “I knew I had to win everything, so just simple things like that. Let them go up front like they deserve to. And so they kind of allow me to go up front now because they understand what I can bring to the team.”
If Murray is right, what Harrison brings to the team is a completely different offense that is among the best in the NFL.
