Going into the NFL draft, Marvin Harrison Jr. said he wasn’t worried about whether or not he would be the first wide receiver drafted. After he was the first wide receiver drafted – the first non-quarterback drafted, for that matter – Harrison admitted it meant something to be taken before any other receiver.
What hasn’t changed, though, is his outlook that what he does now that he’s been drafted matters more than where he was drafted on Thursday night.
“I think it means a lot – a little bit,” Harrison said during his post-draft press conference.
