    Marvin Harrison Jr. does something no rookie WR has since his father did it

    After a quiet Week 1, Arizona Cardinals rookie wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. was the centerpiece of the team’s offensive eruption in a 41-10 rout of the Los Angeles Rams. Harrison, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, caught four passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns in the win.

    More impressively, all of that production came in the first quarter of the game, a quarter that the Cardinals won 14-0 and outgained the Rams 199-13. The early-game outburst put Harrison Jr. into rarefied rookie air.

    Harrison Jr. became the first rookie to record at least four catches and score two touchdowns in the first quarter of a game since his father, Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, did the same back in 1996 for the Indianapolis Colts.

    Junior technically gets the upper hand on his old man by doing it in Week 2. Marvin Harrison achieved the feat in Week 15 of his rookie campaign.
