Marvin Harrison Jr. Had Fewest Yards by Top-5 WR Pick Since Desmond Howard in 1992

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the No. 4 overall pick in this year's draft, finished with just one reception for four yards (on three targets) in his first-ever NFL game on Sunday during a 34-28 road loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Per ESPN Stats & Information (h/t ESPN's Josh Weinfuss), the last time a debut-making receiver taken in the top five had fewer receiving yards was in 1992, when Washington's Desmond Howard finished with zero. Howard, notably, was primarily used as a returner and only had four targets his entire rookie year.
