The offseason ‘Hard Knocks’ with the Giants has been probably the most fascinating additions to the collection in a very long time. It’s been an opportunity to go deep into the scouting course of and watch how groups put together for the NFL Draft, in addition to how they attempt to put prospects beneath stress to mess up.
On Tuesday night time it was Marvin Harrison Jr’s flip, and the Giants did their greatest to try to bait the highest WR within the 2024 class into turning on his QB Kyle McCord. Instead we received a masterful response from a younger man who already understands precisely what to do.
Harrison sat down to observe his personal movie with WR coach Mike Groh when his QB was served up on a platter.
Groh: You received a younger man, he’s rising within the place — you beat a man like this and also you’ve received an opportunity for a landing, he underthrows it. What are you coming again to the huddle saying to him?
Harrison Jr.: I don’t say nothing to quarterbacks. I don’t say nothing to quarterbacks.
Groh: I imply, it’s a shit throw, proper?
Harrison Jr.: I imply … I could make a play. I could make a play nonetheless. I’d by no means say something to the quarterback. I’d all the time blame it on myself as a result of I wanna make the play.
It would have been really easy to bolster his personal inventory on the expense of a younger QB, or justify one dangerous clip to a Top 5 workforce by agreeing that it was a foul throw — however Harrison Jr. didn’t do it. Instead he turned it into being about what he might have accomplished to make the throw a hit, and completely personal his function within the second.
This was completely masterful work by Harrison Jr, and proof why he’s going to be a star.
