Marvin Harrison Jr. does not lack self-confidence.

The Arizona Cardinals wide receiver appeared on The Trenches Show and said, “I think I’m the best,” when asked where he ranks among the best wide receivers in Ohio State history.

He also highlighted his overall list of accomplishments and per-game stats, as someone who didn’t start as a freshman and left after his third year, he didn’t play as long as others.

The son of Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, Harrison came to Ohio State with high expectations, but he was low on the team’s roster his freshman season.

After breaking out with three touchdowns in a Rose Bowl win over Utah when Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson opted to end the season, Harrison was named All-American in 2022 as a sophomore and again in 2023 as a third-year sophomore.

Additionally, he was Big Ten Player of the Year and a Heisman Trophy finalist last season, recording 67 catches for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Ohio State has developed into a wide receiver machine in today’s NFL, and Harrison joins a roster that already includes Terry McLaurin, Olave, Wilson, Michael Thomas, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and others.

The Buckeyes also have a long list of influential wide receivers in their history, including Cris Carter, David Boston, Terry Glenn, Ted Ginn Jr., Joey Galloway and Michael Jenkins, among others.

Jenkins is the program’s all-time leader in catches and receiving yards, while Olave leads wide receivers in touchdowns. Harrison, however, is fifth in catches, fourth in yards and third in touchdown catches despite playing only two full seasons.

When you add in a full skill set that includes route running, hands, speed and size, it’s hard to argue with his claim.

Now the Cardinals hope he can become one of the best wide receivers in their history after selecting him number 4 in the draft.
