Drafted: Round 1, No. 4 overall
Hailed as a generational talent out of the Ohio State receiver factory throughout the pre-draft process, Harrison has not put together a rookie campaign matching that the hype. Although his numbers are respectable for a first-year pass catcher (45 receptions for 655 yards and seven touchdowns on 86 targets), the Cardinals’ new WR1 has not routinely dominated opponents on the perimeter.
Harrison has topped the 100-yard mark twice this season, with showcase moments against the Rams (four catches, 130 yards, two touchdowns) and Dolphins (six catches, 111 yards, one score). However, he has one of the lower catch rates (52.3%) in this rookie class, and tight end Trey McBride is definitely the No. 1 option in Arizona’s aerial attack. Perhaps coverage has diminished his impact, with opposing defensive coordinators utilizing loaded zones and double coverages to limit free releases at the line, but elite playmakers consistently defeat those tactics to remain viable options.
