Marvin Harrison is one of my favorite players ever, and this card is actually one of my favorites also. Marvin Harrison is one of the greatest receivers of all time.
As a Titans fan, that is for sure weird to say. But despite him and Peyton Manning just abusing the Titans for like 10-15 years, I can recognize greatness. I swear the Peyton-Marvin connection is an underrated one. Those two were just MENACES. I'll always remember 18 and 88 doing work on that turf in Indy and against the Pats. Some of my earliest NFL watching memories.
Marvin was a super fast, great route runner with great hands and solid size, I mean he really was a beast. He would just glide across the field and snag everything.
This card is from the year after his fifth season. He would go on to play in eight more seasons, for a total of thirteen, all of which were with the Indianapolis Colts. From 1996-2008.
The numbers and accolades Marvin Harrison achieved in his NFL career are just jaw dropping. There isn't much he hasn't accomplished:
- Super Bowl XLI Champion
- 3x NFL First-Team All-Pro
- 5x NFL Second-Team All-Pro
- 8x Pro Bowl
- NFL 2000s All-Decade Team
- NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team
- 1,102 Career Receptions, 5th All Time
- 14,580 Career Receiving Yards, 9th All Time
- 128 Touchdown Receptions, 5th All-Time
- NFL Hall of Famer
I'm not sure we will see another player like Marvin.
Any memories or opinions of Marvin?
Keep on sharing!
