LOOK: Marvin Harrison Jr. has salty response to disrespectful memorabilia of Javon Bullard hit that gave him CFP concussion
While Georgia fans are busy basking in the glorious afterglow of back-to-back national titles, why not stroll down memory lane? One memorabilia company aims to help, selling signed and inscribed prints of the hit Javon Bullard laid on Marvin Harrison Jr. late in the Peach Bowl on New Years Eve — much to Harrison’s chagrin.
The hit, which resulted in a concussion for Harrison, is captured in the picture. The inscription that goes along with Bullard’s signature: “Night Night.”
“‘Night Night’ lol bet,” Harrison tweeted on Tuesday night.
While the hit might’ve been the most memorable singular defensive highlight for Georgia in that game, Harrison would probably not be wrong to point to his stat line in response: Five catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns.
But it was Georgia who got the win, so it’s Georgia and Bulldogs fans that will be enjoying all the highlight from that game.
That said, $130 for the print might be a tad steep.
WATCH: Marvin Harrison Jr. nearly makes insane touchdown catch, sustains huge hit
C.J. Stroud was just trying to chuck the ball away with a bevy of Georgia defenders chasing him down. But his throw, which was seemingly intended to go out the back of the end zone, fell into the arms of a barely out of bounds Marvin Harrison Jr.
And as Harrison came down with the pass, albeit a with a toe out of bounds, Georgia defensive back Javon Bullard came across and delivered a crushing hit on the star Ohio State receiver. Harrison was down on the turf for a brief period and the play was reviewed for targeting.
After a relatively quick review, the targeting was waved off and Bullard remained in. Harrison eventually walked off and appeared to be OK. According to ESPN’s Holly Rowe, he was telling teammates and coaches he was OK, but did not have his helmet back. Whether he returns remains in question.
The end zone angle gives a clear shot of just how close Harrison was to hauling it in. And how hard of a hit he took from Bullard.
