NFL Legend J.J. Watt Describes Ohio State Buckeyes WR Marvin Harrison Jr. with Four Simple Words

The former Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals defensive end took to social media following Harrison's two-touchdown performance on Saturday.

Ohio State Buckeyes receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. received some praise from an unlikely source after Saturday's 24-10 against the Wisconsin Badgers.

Former Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt took to social media to compliment the Buckeyes junior, sharing his message with just four, simple words.

"Very good football player," Watt said on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Harrison was a force during the Buckeyes game against the Badgers, hauling in six receptions for 123 yards and two touchdowns. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-native' was one of only two Ohio State players to score touchdowns in the game (alongside running back TreVeyon Henderson), and ended the game with a 20.5 yards-per-reception average.

Saturday against Wisconsin was the fourth consecutive game in which Harrison recorded 100 receiving yards and at least one touchdown reception, dating back to October 7 against the Maryland Terrapins. The other two contests included in that series are October 14 on the road against the Purdue Boilermakers and October 21 against the then-No. 7 Penn State Nittany Lions.

Harrison complied over 160 yards in two of those aforementioned games: 163 yards against the Terrapins and 162 versus the Nittany Lions. Saturday against Wisconsin was the second game this season in which Harrison scored two touchdown receptions, along with September 9 against the Youngstown State Penguins.

Watt spent 12 seasons in the National Football League before announcing his retirement at the end of the 2022 campaign, a majority of which were with the Texans. The product of Pewaukee, Wisconsin recorded 586 total tackles in 151 games, along with 114.5 sacks, four blocked kicks and two defensive touchdowns.

Not only is Watt's praise interesting since it comes from a defensive player, but also due to where the former first-round pick played in college. Watt was a member of the Wisconsin Badgers, the team against which Harrison recorded those impressive numbers, for two seasons before declaring for the 2011 NFL Draft.
