The NFL season is beginning its 11th week of the 2024 season and we are a the point when coaches will begin to say that rookies are no longer rookies.
The Arizona Cardinals’ most-heralded rookie is receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who has had an up-and-down season.
He has 33 receptions for 499 yards and six touchdowns so far.
PFF has him as the eighth-highest graded rookie so far this season, coming in just behind fellow rookie receiver Malik Nabers, of the New York Giants.
Harrison has a PFF grade of 79.4.
Harrison saw five targets in the Cardinals’ big win over the Jets on Sunday, catching all five for 54 yards and a touchdown. He has averaged 1.90 yards per route run as a rookie and brought in 50% of the 22 contested targets that have come his way.
He is on pace for 56 receptions for 848 yards and 10 TDs.
The 10 touchdowns would be fantastic. The 56 catches and 848 yards would be a little disappointing but not bad. But if those numbers come with a playoff appearance or even a division title, it would be hard to complain about that.
