Marvin Harrison Jr. is drawing plaudits online following the surfacing of a ‘Hard Knocks’ video showing the New York Giants trying to get him to throw his former teammate under the bus.
Harrison Jr. was shown going over footage from his Ohio State days with Giants wide receivers coach Mike Groh. One of the clips shows the former Buckeyes wide receiver beating his man and quarterback Kyle McCord overthrowing the potential touchdown pass.
Groh tried to get Marvin to blame his QB, but the rookie refused to.
“You beat a guy like this, got a chance for a touchdown. He underthrows it. What are you coming back to the huddle saying to him?” Groh asked.
“Oh, I don’t say nothing to quarterbacks,” Harrison replied.
“I mean, that’s a s*** throw, right?” Groh pressed.
“I mean, I can make a play right?” Harrison responded. “I will never say anything to the quarterback. I’ll always blame it on myself.”
