2024-25 NFL odds: Marvin Harrison Jr. favored to lead rookies in receiving yards

[ad_1]

The 2024 NFL Draft had seven wide receivers drafted in the first round, which tied the record set back in 2004. In addition, three wide receivers — Marvin Harrison Jr, Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze — were taken in the top 10. 

Over the past few seasons, a trend of rookie wideouts having instant success in the NFL has developed. 

In two of the past three seasons, WRs have won Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ja’Marr Chase in 2021 and Garrett Wilson in 2022. 

Could one of those seven first-rounders be the next in line? 

Over his last two seasons (25 games) at Ohio State, Harrison averaged 104.52 receiving yards per game. He also had 28 touchdowns in that span. 

FOX Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt believes Harrison will be the best wide receiver to come out of the 2024 Draft. 

“My No. 1 pass catcher in this year’s draft is a really easy one,” Klatt said. “Let’s not overthink it. We’ve known he was going to be the best pass catcher in this draft class for a long time. … He’s going to be an All-Pro. He’s going to be a 10-time Pro Bowler if he stays healthy.” 

TJ Houshmandzadeh ranks Rome Odunze the best rookie WR over Marvin Harrison Jr.
