Drafted: Round 1, No. 4 general
Hailed as a generational expertise out of the Ohio State receiver manufacturing facility all through the pre-draft course of, Harrison has not put collectively a rookie marketing campaign matching that the hype. Although his numbers are respectable for a first-year go catcher (45 receptions for 655 yards and 7 touchdowns on 86 targets), the Cardinals’ new WR1 has not routinely dominated opponents on the perimeter.
Harrison has topped the 100-yard mark twice this season, with showcase moments in opposition to the Rams (4 catches, 130 yards, two touchdowns) and Dolphins (six catches, 111 yards, one rating). However, he has one of many decrease catch charges (52.3%) on this rookie class, and tight finish Trey McBride is unquestionably the No. 1 possibility in Arizona’s aerial assault. Perhaps protection has diminished his impression, with opposing defensive coordinators using loaded zones and double coverages to restrict free releases on the line, however elite playmakers constantly defeat these ways to stay viable choices.
