During the joint practices between the Arizona Cardinals and the Indianapolis Colts, rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is showcasing why the Cardinals selected the former Ohio State receiver with the No. 4 overall pick.

During the one-on-one portion of the two NFL franchise’s joint practices, Harrison Jr. went head-to-head with 2021 Pro Bowl cornerback Kenny Moore II. In the drill, the rookie wide receiver showcased why he was the top non-quarterback player selected in the 2024 NFL Draft, with a route that shook more completely out of the frame. You can check out Harrison Jr.’s elite route running and catch in the video below.

Harrison was widely considered the best wide receiver prospect in this past draft. The former Buckeyes superstar and son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Marvin Harrison Sr. was nearly unguardable during his time in Columbus, OH. Now, the rookie will team up with former Heisman Trophy-winning and elite dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray in Arizona and attempt to turn the Cardinals back into a playoff contender. And if the rookie receiver can continue to run routes as he did and make plays on the field, the Cardinals’ climb to the top of the NFC West might come sooner than many anticipate.

Harrison Jr. claims he did not sign Fanatics contract

The ongoing contractual dispute between Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and Fanatics, a sports memorabilia and apparel company (among other things), has taken another turn in federal court, according to a report from cllct’s Darren Rovell.

At the center of the disagreement, which has resulted in Fanatics suing Harrison Jr. in federal court in New York, is a contract that Harrison apparently signed in 2023 that licensed Fanatics to sell his autograph, among other things. But Harrison Jr. is now asserting that he, specifically, didn’t sign a contract, but that his father, Marvin Harrison Sr., did on behalf of his son’s company.

This, Harrison Jr. is arguing, keeps him an arms-length from the contract with Fanatics. And means it’s the company — The Official Harrison Collection LLC — is the entity obligated to uphold the deal, he’s argued. He is the sole representative of the company.

And while it’s legally possible for a sole representative of a company not to be bound by terms of a contract the company has signed and they have not, the LLC being so closely tied to Harrison is going to be a challenge to argue around in court.

“It is not an agreement between Fanatics and me,” Harrison Jr. said in an affidavit, according to cllct. “I was never requested to, nor did I ever, sign any document that personally obligated me to do anything concerning the ‘Binding Term Sheet.”
