Top Cardinals Draft Prospect Won't Test at NFL Combine

Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison will not be on the field in Indianapolis.

ARIZONA -- Much like all 31 other teams, the Arizona Cardinals have their bags packed and are en route to Indianapolis for the 2024 NFL Combine. 

Hundreds of players - hoping to be picked by the Cardinals or any of the other teams just two months down the road - will be on site going through testing, media availability and team interviews during the week. 

Top Cardinals prospect and Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will be there, but he won't be doing any testing on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium.

From Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer:

"Ohio State’s reigning Biletnikoff Award–winning receiver hasn’t hired an agent. He also didn’t engage in the pre-combine training that most other players do ahead of Indianapolis. And all signs show Harrison’s plan is to continue working out in Columbus, Ohio with Buckeye strength and conditioning tycoon Mickey Marotti, among others, to prepare not to run a 40-yard dash, but play football in the fall," he said.

"After putting up two consecutive 1,200-yard, 14-touchdown seasons to cap off his three years at Ohio State, Harrison has positioned himself to go inside the top five this April. He’s regarded as the best NFL receiver prospect since Julio Jones and A.J. Green in 2011, and maybe the best since Calvin Johnson went second overall in ’07. It’s been assumed now for well over a year that Harrison will be the top receiver in this April’s draft."

Harrison is still scheduled to meet with reporters on Friday for media availability. 

Wide receivers will be working out with quarterbacks and running backs on Saturday.
