Marvin Harrison Jr. was supposed to be an aerial dominator for the Arizona Cardinals when they drafted him fourth overall in 2024. But three full games into the 2025 season, he has not been able to fulfill that potential, and his performance on Thursday night further encapsulated all that.

After the first half of the Week 4 opener against the Seattle Seahawks, the sophomore wide receiver had just one eight-yard catch in five targets - including this one that he either failed to see or deliberately avoided:

But that moment was not the defining low point. With just over three and a half minutes left in the second quarter, Harrison bobbled a pass from Kyler Murray that fell into the hands of linebacker Ernest Jones for the interception:

It was not actually Murray's pick of the night, as Coby Bryant stole a pass from him early in the first quarter. However, the safety ran into his teammate Tyrice Knight and dropped the ball. Running back Trey Benson recovered it to return possession to the Cardinals, who then scored a field goal on the ensuing drive:

As a rookie, Marvin Harrison Jr. definitely flashed his dominator potential, amassing 885 yards on 62 catches and tying his team’s record for receiving touchdowns by a rookie at eight. But he has not been able to find his groove in 2025 so far, having just ten grabs for 142 yards and a single score to his name after three full games.

However, a former teammate of his still believes better days lie ahead - fellow ex-Ohio State Buckeye Emeka Egbuka. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie told Kay Adams on Up & Adams on Thursday:

The Cardinals and Buccaneers will meet in Week 13 on November 30. Kickoff is at 1 pm ET/11 am MT on Fox.
