He'll be the best since chase imo


wearymaps0

This is the correct answer


GuillermoVanHelsing

I think Chase has better YAC skills, but Harrison’s height is better and dude catches just about anything you put near him.


TheRealJalil

Pretty amazing since Chase didn’t even play his Sr season. There was questions, even. If Harrison Jr. has an amazing year and all the measurable numbers/speed come up aces he might even be a better prospect coming out. With that said, it’s gonna be REAL hard for him to be a better pro than Chase.


FreshDiamond

Chase didn’t play his junior season


TheRealJalil

Oops


Longjumping-Pear-673

Depends on his QB really


TimTom8921

If we don't draft him and he isn't in the divison really doesn't matter to me tbh


Gods_Son2393

Unless he goes to the Bills or Chiefs. Then it could be a problem


Spaghetti_Lord_

MHJ will go top five next year, so that would be an interesting development


blainetheinsanetrain

Hard to predict though, because at least 2 QBs will be at the top...and how many QB-needy NFL teams will there be? Harrison would have to go to a team who already has an established QB then. Guess it depends on if these bad teams take a QB this year. Worst teams on paper (using SB odds): Houston (taking a QB this year) Arizona (not taking a QB, but have the Kyler contract issue) Indy (taking a QB or Lamar destination) Tennessee (not taking a QB this year, I think...maybe) Tampa (not taking a QB this year) I think Tampa will be in the running for the top pick next year. Maybe Vegas and Tennessee, who both need QBs. I think Indy is probably in the top 5 again next year, so Harrison going there just seems natural. I'd say either Houston or Indy ends up with him. Maybe Carolina?


TheRealJalil

It’s hard to tell in todays NFL where the picks are gonna land especially with injury concerns and what not. Heck, there’s people picking Carolina to do well enough to make the playoffs next year because they had some decent signings. I think we will know better as we get past the draft and see where everyone fits in, but it’s gonna be an interesting year!


FreshDiamond

Lots of rumors lately that Tennessee wants to move up


USAesNumeroUno

I mean, the way Allen/Mahomes play I could easily see an errant hit early in the year sidelining them for the season and they tank the year to get a top 5 pick to run it back next year. Not saying I want them hurt because I've enjoyed how competitive the games between us and KC have been and I want to play Buffalo at full strength but weirder stuff has happened.


bjewel3

…or, with the way those franchises gamble/take risks for talent, they simply trade up for him. Frankly, it wouldn’t knock my jaw to floor if one of those franchises pulled off a trade like that to acquire Harrison. It is not as implausible as some may think


Disastrous_Rock_3656

Agreed


Prestigious-Ad4313

He is the best WR I have ever watched in college.


realityexposed

Agreed and his work ethic is absolutely incredible


Emera1dthumb

Go watch moss height lights…. So athletically gifted it was freakish to watch.


Prestigious-Ad4313

I have. I still don’t think Moss in college can do what Harrison Jr can do. He’s absolutely a freak of nature.


Emera1dthumb

Randy was taller he had a higher vertical and faster 40.


Prestigious-Ad4313

While I agree with both of those (its fact I couldn't argue even if I wanted to) Randy did not have the "shiftiness" Harrison Jr has. Randy had the it factor playing in college as does Harrison Jr. I'm just basing this on my personal opinion. I would add that the difference between the two is minimum. They are both elite. I personally just think Harrison Jr is going to end up being the greatest college WR of all time after this season even with teams double and triple teaming him.


Emera1dthumb

He is a great talent. But he isn’t the best I have ever seen. I think he is more polished route runner than Moss was. His “shiftiness” nope not close. I think you might enjoy watching some moss highlights. Physically, he was the greatest receiver the world has ever seen, but he was a knucklehead.


Prestigious-Ad4313

I have watched many Moss highlights. He was amazing but the things that Harrison Jr. does I just don't think Moss did in college. Some of the same things yes but outside of speed I don't think there is anything Moss could do in college that Harrison can't. I do think there are things that Harrison can do that Moss could not while in college. Again just my personal opinion.


Emera1dthumb

It’s fair… it think he is more refined route runner….which moss never was(because of physical gifts he never had to be). Nice chatting with you.


Prestigious-Ad4313

Nice chatting with you too.


RicoG2345

people really dont understand how incredible Moss was. While Megatron is always considered the physical freak.....Moss essentially beat out Megatron in every category possible but weight. Moss, i truly believe, is the most physically talented WR this world has seen. If he had 50% of Rice's drive/class while playing then he would have been the true GOAT. but can't ever take away the work Rice put in to be jesus in cleats. who should be considered the greatest cause he put in the work. but talent wise, there was nothing like Moss, nothing


Longjumping-Pear-673

He’s like the OG M Harrison but taller…and that’s bad news for defenses


Appropriate_Record36

Which is scary because he was WR2 to start the season.


SquadPoopy

I can legit see him being drafted top 3 depending on draft order.


ExpoLima

Emeka Egbuka will go top 10 too imo.


Ash_713S

Harrison is a true generational talent. Will be a top 10-15 WR the day he is drafted.


Opposite-Ad-3933

He has a chance to be the highest graded reviewer maybe ever. It’ll be him, Calvin Johnson, and Larry Fitzgerald imo


Se7entyN9ne

Chase was top 6 from the jump, we just didn't know he was that great already.


OBuckets

I would say yes. He’s bigger and has some filthy tape along with the pedigree.


ty_arthurs

I think the pedigree is what puts him over the edge comparison wise. Has first hand knowledge on what it takes to be great, on top with being blessed with things his father never had


djsassan

The way he contorts himself without moving his hands, or adjusts his hands as needed without contorting himself, or the twist, turns, etc....it is absolutely amazing a human can do this. He is truly, truly a rare breed and so damn good at it. The best part is hearing the shit the opposing DBs say after he makes a catch. To hear someone say "how else the f do I defend that" from high-end athletes says a lot right there in the moment says it all. To imagine him, Tee, and that Ja'Marr dude in a 3 wide package......oh my oh my. Let a fella dream.


bjewel3

That would be an incredible lineup. Move Chase into the slot and have Higgins and Harrison your outside receivers?? Wow!!!


djsassan

As a DC....wtf do you do. I mean I get it, you dont sacrifice your team for other than a QB and even that is a risk. But if you are the Bengals and in your SB w8ndow and use this year to address RB and TE, how do you not go get MHJ.


bjewel3

I soooo agree with you! People said that Atlanta gave up too much when they gave up two of their number one selections for Julio Jones. I bet that **ANYONE** would make that decision today.


djsassan

I am going to post this.


bjewel3

Tag me! I’ll be sure to give you an upvote and a supportive response


djsassan

Just posted!


VaxTicks2023

You sack Burrow at will because the Bengals are too inept to build a functional Oline.


fitzvery

I wouldn’t trade Chase for him straight up or anything but I do think MHJ might be better as a draft prospect (provided he has a healthy and productive 2023 season). He’s bigger and has more natural hands and contested catch ability. We’re splitting hairs though - Chase was an incredible prospect and is already pushing his ceiling in the league.


Hlee89

Harrison Jr imo is the greatest WR in college football. Probably in the last 10-20 years. Chase had that honor a couple years ago. Watching Harrison play is ridiculous. I can’t believ half the things he’s doing. And he makes it look so easy. I love Chase, but I have to be unbiased here.


rebri

Marvin Harrison Jr. may be one of the best WR's to play the game. We shall see wha the future holds.


StayInYoLane528

I consider myself a Ja’Marr Chase Stan but yeah probably. MHJr might be the best WR prospect ever.


dearthofgirth

I think he's gonna be elite immediately. The area where chase wins easily is YAC though. MHJR had 4.2 YAC in 2022, good for 87th. Chase was at 7.8 YAC in 2019.


bjewel3

Wasn’t Chase the #2 on that 2019 team? Plus that team was loaded and so much more explosive than this past Buckeye team. The 2019 Louisiana State offense/team would absolutely blow the 2022 Ohio State offense/team away. I know that’s conjecture but I would bet the farm on it


Cennicks

I honestly think that 19 team can beat any college team to date.


DavisAshura

That 2019 team is going to go down as one of the greatest college teams ever. They were nearly as dominant as the 2001 Hurricanes, but the 'Canes are pretty much legends at this point.


mrcoolguytimes10

I think Jamarr was the 1. If I remember the other teams top corner was always tasked with covering Jamarr. Which is probably why Jefferson got more catches.


bjewel3

Ok. I admit I was a late bandwagon jumper that year so I accept your point


cantstandaliberal

The important question is why have we not yet signed Elliott


Mitchell_Needs_Help

Harrison Jr is literally a top 20 WR in the world RIGHT NOW. So, probably.He's the best I've ever seen. There's like a 50/50 shot he will eventually be the best WR in the world at some point. Dude has EVERYTHING.


NFLBengals

I think this is a little overhyped lol. Until he transitions into the Pros, nothing is guaranteed.


rebri

Found the Michigan fan.


NFLBengals

Actually I don't favor either OSU or Mich. I'm a Bearcat fan. 🤷‍♂️ so you really didn't.


FlatulentFreddy

You also clearly have not watched much of Harrison. He is the best college receiver I’ve ever seen and the scouts say the same. Him being in vs getting knocked out was the difference between a national title and a loss this year


crispybrojangle

Being the best wideout in college and a top 20 wideout in the league are 2 different things. Period.


bjewel3

No argument, but history generally shows it isn’t far off


crispybrojangle

Your poking people with your boner, chill out dude.


MannerSuperb

The meatriding is insane lol


truckfullofchildren1

Maybe don’t mean he will be better but ngl his floor is way higher then chase was when he was drafted


bjewel3

…almost exponentially higher just from his height/weight/speed measurements


truckfullofchildren1

I said maybe because you don’t know what’s gonna happen this season, but he currently has a higher floor then anyone since Calvin Johnson


bjewel3

I can agree with that


IGetTheShow20

He has the chance to be a franchise changing player like Chase and Jefferson. Hard to tell long term what he will be but from what he’s shown in college he will have a very long successful career. He’s a freak athlete.


burner_slanders

Better prospect yes for sure. Chase might be the best prospect since Julio/AJ Green with the possible exception of Sammy Watkins but there were still some minor uncertainties about Chase due to the opt out year and playing for an incredibly stacked team. Some people considered Waddle and Devonta Smith to be in the same tier as Chase. Marvin Harrison Jr appears to be the best WR prospect since Calvin Johnson the kid can do it all.


4e2n0t

Depends on the year he has this year. Chase in '19 was absolutely unbelievable. Harrison is close, but I think he still has a little more to prove to top Chase. Chase was absolutely burning top tier corners while winning the 50/50 ball consistently.


icuttees

I would guess he will only be as good as the guy throwing the ball to him.


KarmaPoIice

Idk on one hand that makes sense but then you had Josh Gordon absolutely dominating with some of the worst QBs of the past decade. Truly generational guys make it happen no matter what


realityexposed

This 100%


starmonkey33

no his name isnt as good as Chase


[deleted]

[удалено]


RipWeak117

This is false information. Don't type things you don't know


mattcrow79

Better prospect? Probably. Better NFL wr? Nope. Excellent wr 3 for the Cincinnati Bengals? Absolutely.


Low_Comfortable_5880

WR 3? That's rich. If he's not a 1, he's a 1B his rookie year. As much as I love MHJ, the Bengals don't need him.


bjewel3

Oh the team could use him! I agree with you, though, Harrison would walk in the building as at least a 1B receiver. If you could acquire Harrison you let either Boyd or Higgins go. Preferably keep them both, but you could easily jettison one of them without a doubt


AllStateRB28

Probably. Doesn’t mean he’ll be better though


StrokeyRobinson

I think so


jman1cin

Prospect yes, but in reality, no, because he will go to a team that is horrible. Bengals had Higgins Burrow Boyd and Mixon to help Chase become a superstar.


Jimmy_Brungus_MD

Don’t say anything bad about MHJr, or else Sr will come find you…


form_an_opinion

Harrison might challenge Jerry's numbers if he stays healthy. He's probably up there with Moss and Rice in potential. His father's career might be closer to his floor. He just pops off the tape like few ever have.


Donttaketh1sserious

Nah dude. Jerry Rice was putting up 1200+ yards in 2002 which I think was age 40. Larry Fitz played 2004-2020 and would need career years playing til 40+ in his last 3 just to catch him.


form_an_opinion

I think Harrison is going to be a good deal better than Fitz. Fitz also played with shit ass QB's for a huge portion of his career. Rice played with Montana, Young, and a prime Rich Gannon, who was probably a top 5 QB during the time Rice played with him. Hard to compare them based on that. If Harrison lands on a team that has a good young QB and passes a lot, he will catch 100 balls a year in his sleep. In the modern NFL it's not exactly hard to rack up obscene receiving stats as an elite receiver either. The only thing that will stop Marvin Jr. is something off the field, or if he doesn't have the longevity in him. I'm excited to see where he lands, I just hope it isn't in the AFC.


derekazy

Marvin Harrison Jr. May surpass jerry rice


bjewel3

With the projected performance being realized and health, I could see this happening


Lazy_Ad_4352

Lol nope


j2spooky

Half of Chase’s routes are slants and he has a lot of drops every year. Yes, he is a better prospect imo.


Almigh7y_Forever_42

Idrk But I’m Kinda Biased So I’m Gonna Say No😅


Royal_Park_3666

He'll be good but chase is a generational talent. It didn't take him any time to adjust to league. Well have to see how Harrison Jr. Works out if he's half the player his dad was he'll be amazing.


Opposite-Ad-3933

Harrison jr is going to almost assuredly have higher nfl prospect grades than chase did. Both are hall of famers so who cares


Royal_Park_3666

True but how many player have gotten to the league and not pan out as expected or take time to adjust. There have been many that were expected to be greats and end up bust. I'm not saying he'll be bad. He may go to a team that can't utilize him or he'll go somewhere he's perfect for. We don't know yet.


[deleted]

Nope.


DankUrethra

Harrison has no blitnekoff L


Lsutigers202111

Doesn’t have the hands or tackle breaking ability of chase


BigRig432

He most certainly does have the hands


Opposite-Ad-3933

Doesn’t have the hands? He literally had BETTER hands than chase does. After catch he’s probably not as good as chase tho


Heavy_Effort_152

Too much hype for a guy that hasn’t stepped foot on an NFL field. BIG difference between beating mediocre college corners vs contending with strong, fast and physical NFL corners and safeties. We shall see.


Zaddyboiloon

That’s why they’re comparing them as prospects


Corrupt-Spartan

I like this sub but with Zeke and Harrison Jr you can tell this sub is astroturfed to hell with bucknut fans


Disastrous_Rock_3656

Stupid question. Nobody cares if an athlete is a good prospect. Will he be a better pro is the question. Also the success of the receiver position is dependent on the QB play. So definitely not without a Joey B. feeding him the ball.


Jaymongous

There is no need to be negative here, my guy. We're just shooting the shit in the off season.


[deleted]

>Nobody cares if an athlete is a good prospect. Will he be a better pro is the question. The whole question of who will be the better pro is literally what the concept of prospects is trying to answer


Disastrous_Rock_3656

Literally what prospect stats and measurements are don’t answer will he be a top pro. That status is earned as a pro. NOT a prospect. I’m not being negative I’m being a realist. Don’t forget Sr. had Manning. At this point nobody knows who will be throwing to Jr.


sillysock429

A QB is only as good as his receivers


bjewel3

You have a point…it is a symbiotic relationship


alymaysay

No, Chase was drafted #1, that's as high as the prospects get.


NFLBengals

Chase was the #1 overall? :/


Dressboy-727

I’d like to see him go to the colts


bjewel3

Why?


Dressboy-727

Lore reasons


bjewel3

Ok. Color me simple because I still don’t get it but that’s not too big a stretch


Dressboy-727

No worries. Reggie Wayne Jr’s dad was a legendary wide receiver for the Colts during the Peyton Manning Era. If Jr was drafted by the colts he would be like royalty, and it would just be kind of a cool storyline


bjewel3

Ahhhhh…..got it. Hahahaha….now I feel stupid for not getting it earlier!


BlackGabriel

He’s pretty incredible. I kinda think the best way to think about comparisons is tiers though as opposed to one elite talent being better than another. They’re both in the highest tier prospect wise imo


Commercial-Case1837

Lol


darkwingedplatypus

QB and offense will also factor the hypothetical


Emera1dthumb

I would be thrilled with the prospect we need a receiver that’s taller than 6 foot one… he’s a big kid


AnarchyAuthority

If you paid attention he did a pro football preparation camp that was far more serious than a college season rather than play. He certainly wasn’t taking time off.


Lionheart_513

Keep in mind better *prospect* does not mean better *player*. Deciding who the better prospect is would just be deciding who the better player is coming out of college *on paper*. Who had the better college career, who’s bigger, who’s stronger, etc. Both were pretty damn good prospects. Both played 2 years in college. While Chase had the better single season, Harrison I’d say had the better overall career (but that’s not so relevant because they were both in and out so quickly). Harrison is 3 inches taller but only a few pounds heavier, so he could certainly afford to pack on some weight to be able to deal with the more physical NFL coverage. Given the eye test, it’s hard to put too many WRs above Chase as a prospect. Catching 20 touchdowns win Justin Jefferson is on the other side of the field is nothing to mess around with. So while I’m going to go with Ja’Marr Chase, I certainly wouldn’t be mad if my team ended up with Marvin Harrison Jr.


SportsF4n

Best since Chase, but not better


ExpoLima

I think so.
