Chad Johnson will give up interesting vice if this Ohio State player doesn’t win the Heisman

For a player to win the Heisman Trophy, there needs to be some preseason hype, and Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has plenty of it.

The junior has been on all the preseason All-American teams that I have seen with expectations going through the roof a punching a hole in the atmosphere. Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson is adding to that hype.

In an interview with “Meet At Midfield’s” Kevin Harrish, the wide receiver former known as Ocho Cinco, said that he’d give up McDonald’s if Harrison Jr. doesn’t win the Heisman. Listen for yourself below as Johnson has the utmost confidence that the hardware will be Harrison Jr.’s after this fall.

Unfortunately, Johnson might be giving up his Big Mac’s as the last receiver to win the Heisman was Alabama’s DeVonta Smith in 2020, but only 5 winners at the position all time. Smith was the first true receiver to win the trophy since Notre Dame’s Tim Brown did it in 1987.

We hope Johnson is correct, but history tells us that it’s unlikely that a receiver — even one the caliber of Harrison Jr. — will take the award home this fall.
