Ohio State Star Marvin Harrison Jr. Projected No. 1 Overall in Latest NFL Mock Draft

Ohio State Buckeyes star Marvin Harrison Jr. has a chance to be the first receiver taken No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft since Keyshawn Johnson in 1996.

In Sports Illustrated's latest NFL Mock Draft, Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is projected to be the first off the board to the Chicago Bears.

Harrison recorded 67 receptions for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns — the latter both of which led the Big Ten — on his way to winning the Fred Biletnikoff Award, given to the top receiver in the country.

The projected No. 1 pick is a two-time consensus First Team All-American First Team and became the only player in Ohio State history to have back-to-back seasons with 1000-plus receiving yards. He ranks third and fourth all-time in receiving touchdowns and yards, respectively.

Although Harrison has remained a consensus top-five pick, there has been some debate over whether he or a quarterback should go first overall; namely, either Southern California's Caleb Williams or North Carolina's Drake Maye.

Harrison opted out of the Cotton Bowl Classic before the Buckeyes lost 14-3 to No. 9 Missouri.

That said, if things hold the way they currently are, the Bears - who are currently projected to have the No. 1 pick thanks to their trade with the Panthers - are likely to stick with Justin Fields.

Since Fields returned from injury, he has thrown five touchdowns and run for three more and Chicago has gone 4-2.

Harrison looks to join a list of notable Buckeyes receivers drafted in the first round, including Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Harrison will wait for his name to be called on April 25 in Detroit.
