REPORT: Another Star Wide Receiver Is Now Being Named To Get Drafted Before Superstar Marvin Harrison Jr.

For months, many experts have had Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. as being taken as the first wide receiver in the NFL Draft.

While Ohio State star Marvin Harrison Jr. has long been pegged as the best player at the position, The Athletic’s Dane Brugler is throwing a monkey wrench in those plans as he backed up a post from NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, saying LSU’s Malik Nabers is being viewed by “several teams” as the No. 1 receiver in the draft.

NFL Network analyst and “Move the Sticks” podcast had this to say:

“I wouldn’t be shocked if [Malik] Nabers ended up being the 1st WR off the board. I love [Marvin Harrison Jr.] and [Rome] Odunze but Nabers brings a different element,” Jeremiah tweeted. “It’ll come down to preference of style but I guarantee some teams will have Nabers at the top of the list.”

100% true. Nabers has been viewed as WR1 for several teams since the season. And that says more about Nabers than anything else – he's a special talent. https://t.co/QEQ2tqZDqs

I wouldn't be shocked if Nabers ended up being the 1st WR off the board. I love MHJ and Odunze but Nabers brings a different element. It'll come down to preference of style but I guarantee some teams will have Nabers at the top of the list.

ESPN‘s Field Yates further stated that Nabers vs. Harrison “is a real debate for a lot of teams” and the LSU star being the first receiver off the board “should not be dismissed.”

Mr. @MelKiperESPN and I discussed this on today’s First Draft

Ultimately, only one team will decide which WR goes first in the draft.

But make no mistake: Nabers vs. MHJ is a real debate for a lot of teams. Him being the first WR off the board should not be dismissed. https://t.co/BvLmTQ8utH
