Ex-Scout Daniel Kelly Warns Teams Against Trading for Marvin Harrison Jr. After 5-Catch Start

1 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Oct 11

Summary

  • Daniel Kelly said teams should avoid trading for Marvin Harrison Jr., arguing the Cardinals receiver cannot be "fixed" by a new offense or coaching staff.
  • Five catches for 85 yards and one touchdown through four games have sharpened scrutiny on the 2024 No. 4 pick, whose role in Arizona has faded enough that he is expected to be inactive against Detroit while a deal is pursued.
  • Houston has emerged as the likely landing spot, with Las Vegas also linked, as Arizona reportedly seeks a second-round pick plus an additional mid-round selection.
  • Kelly tied his warning to Harrison's broader production, citing a 53.7% NFL catch rate on 108 of 201 targets after he entered the league with a first-round grade built largely on physical traits.
