The entire NFL community is converging in Indianapolis this week for the NFL scouting combine, where players will undergo interviews and performances in front of teams, aiming to fulfill their dreams of joining the NFL. Teams are focused on identifying players who can contribute to their quest for a Super Bowl victory. However, one standout player, Ohio State Buckeyes’ star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., will not participate in testing at the combine, primarily because it’s unnecessary for him.

Harrison Jr. is widely anticipated to be the first non-quarterback selected in the 2024 NFL Draft and is expected to be drafted early. Consequently, teams such as the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals emerge as attractive destinations for the talented receiver.

The Patriots may opt to use their pick on a future quarterback if they believe Jayden Daniels fits that bill. Alternatively, they could explore other options such as trading down or selecting a player like Marvin Harrison Jr. or Notre Dame left tackle Joe Alt. Either choice would be beneficial, but Harrison Jr. would instantly upgrade the Patriots’ receiving corps, which has struggled since Deion Branch’s success in 2002.

While the Patriots have found success at receiver through trades and late-round picks, their drafting history in the first three rounds has been disappointing. Harrison Jr. could potentially fill the void as a top receiver for the Patriots for years to come, providing stability at a position that has been challenging to address in recent years.

**Arizona Cardinals:**
The Arizona Cardinals present an enticing destination for Marvin Harrison Jr., particularly with their established franchise quarterback Kyler Murray. The Cardinals have publicly affirmed their confidence in Murray, making it an appealing situation for a talented receiver like Harrison Jr.
