On Thursday, Marvin Harrison Jr., the first-round draft pick for the Cardinals, officially signed his four-year rookie contract with a fifth-year option. In an exclusive interview with Darren Urban, Harrison expressed his excitement about beginning his journey in the NFL. He emphasized that he was ready to work hard and prove himself on the field as he transitioned from practice to actual gameplay.
While Harrison has signed his deal, three other draft picks for the Cardinals have yet to finalize their contracts. Among them are first-round defensive lineman Darius Robinson, third-round running back Trey Benson, and safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. Harrison’s contract is valued at $35.3 million guaranteed, including a significant $22.5 million signing bonus. He is currently the highest draft pick to have signed his rookie deal, with several quarterbacks still awaiting their contracts.
Harrison expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome he has received from his teammates on both offense and defense. He is eager to earn their trust and carve out a valuable role within the team. With an impressive college career at Ohio State, where he amassed 155 receptions for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns in 38 games, Harrison is anticipated to step into the WR1 position for the Cardinals. His determination and skills make him a promising asset for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
