Ever since his announcement as a Heisman Trophy finalist on Monday, one memory keeps returning to Marvin Harrison Jr.’s mind.
The first year his father, Marvin Harrison Sr., was named a Pro Football Hall of Fame finalist in 2014, Harrison Jr. traveled with him to New York to find out if he’d be enshrined that year, the same place Harrison will be as one of four candidates up for college football’s most prestigious award on Saturday.
“I remember being in a hotel room with him at the time, we got to explore the city a little bit just waiting for his name to be called to be elected into the Hall of Fame,” Harrison said.
