After watching Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr, I’m beginning to wonder how all the recruiting services missed on him being a 5-star prospect. He has the genetic makeup with his dad being an NFL Hall of Famer, he’s tall and rangy, and is an athletic specimen the likes of which you rarely see. He was a high four-star recruit, but what we’re seeing goes beyond that.
It seems like Harrison Jr makes a highlight-worthy catch every week, and he just had another one that might beat them all with a seemingly impossible catch tight on the sidelines against Indiana in the first half Saturday.
The play went for just a modest gain, but it was how Harrison Jr contorted his body while being pushed out of bounds by the Indiana defensive back that will leave you speechless. Somehow he reached his foot back and got a foot down while lifting the other one so it didn’t touch out of bounds.
Others on Twitter were quick to react to the unbelievable play, one that shouldn’t be humanly possible.

He keeps making the case doesn't he?
I think it's been time for a while, but it's really time now to start considering that Marvin Harrison is the best receiver in college football.

It's probably worth a comparison based on what we've seen
Is it absurd to think that Marvin Harrison Jr. is going to be much better than his Hall of Fame father?
