The Arizona Cardinals have signed their first round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Arizona Cardinals continue to sign their 2024 NFL Draft picks, and this was the big one as the Cardinals have signed Marvin Harrison Jr. to his initial NFL contract.

From the team:

The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has signed Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the team’s first-round (4th overall) selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, to a four-year contract with a team option for a fifth year. The signing took place today at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ.

Harrison Jr. (6-3, 209) won the Biletnikoff Award (nation’s top wide receiver), the Big Ten Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year Award and the Big Ten Richter-Howard Wide Receiver of the Year Award in 2023 after leading Ohio State with 67 receptions for 1,211 yards (18.1-yard avg.) and 14 touchdowns in 12 starts. He was also a first-team All-American for the second consecutive season, a Heisman Trophy finalist and first-team All-Big Ten last year.

The 21-year old Harrison finished his Ohio State career with 155 receptions for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns in 38 games (26 starts) over three seasons with the Buckeyes. He had a school-record 15 games of 100+ receiving yards and had 1,000+ receiving yards in each of his final two seasons, becoming the first wide receiver in school history to have consecutive seasons of 1,000+ yards.

Congratulations to Marvin on his first contract in the NFL.
