Taken at No. 4 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, Marvin Harrison Jr. was also selected rather highly in fantasy football drafts aplenty while riding a full-speed hype train this offseason.
His NFL debut on Sunday hardly lived up to expectations, though, as he turned in just one reception for a meager four yards in the Arizona Cardinals' 34-28 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Don't bang that panic button just yet, as Cards offensive coordinator Drew Petzing is doing his due diligence, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.
"Certainly, he is on the forefront of our minds in terms of getting him the ball," Petzing said Tuesday, via the team website. "I think (the Bills) did some things to take him away and certainly I could've called some plays to get him more involved early, but I thought it was a good start. We have some work to do."
Petzing made it known that getting Harrison the ball more was "the plan" and shouldered that responsibility, pointing out it wasn't quarterback Kyler Murray's obligation to feed Harrison or anyone else one the offense.
"One of the things I try to stress with Kyler is that it's not his job to get certain people the ball or worry about how a guy is doing in the flow of the game," Petzing said. "I've got to do that with the way I call the game, and he's got to make the best decision based on the look, the coverage, how the routes are run."
