Arizona Cardinals star quarterback Keller Murray is full of anticipation for the future of the team’s rookie receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr. He firmly believes that Harrison’s joining will elevate the team’s attack to a whole new level.
“Harrison’s arrival has given us more possibilities in our offensive strategy,” Murray said excitedly in an interview with ESPN. “He has the ability to stand out in one-on-one matches, which we all see in his eyes. When he starts to showcase his talent, I firmly believe that our offense will become a leader in the league.”
Murray’s words are not unfounded. As a quarterback willing to deliver shells to trusted targets, he demonstrated this in the case of Andre Hopkins. Now, he sees that Harrison also possesses such potential.
Since the Cardinals picked Harrison in the draft, he has been destined to become the team’s number one receiver. However, Harrison was not complacent about it. In the early offseason, he chose to act low-key, following in the footsteps of veteran players and understanding his position. Over time, he won the recognition of his teammates with his outstanding performance and ultimately stood at the forefront of the team.
Harrison humbly said, “I don’t want to steal the limelight right away. I know I need to work hard to win everything. It’s natural to let the veterans lead because they deserve such respect. And now, they let me lead because they know what I can bring to the team.”
Harrison not only possesses the ability to open up situations in one-on-one matches, but also creates opportunities for the team on multiple levels. His arrival injected new vitality into the attack of the Cardinals, making the team’s tactics more diverse.
Second grade corner guard Garrett Williams gave Harrison a high evaluation: “His height and mobility combine so perfectly, which is difficult to see in ordinary people. His tracking ability and ball feel are impressive. He does have the kind of uniqueness we call him.”
Harrison quickly became the leader of the team’s reception room, and his joining undoubtedly added more expectations to the future of the Cardinals.
