2024 #NFLCombine key measurements thread…
1. #OhioState WR Marvin Harrison Jr.
Height: 6-3 2/8
Weight: 209
Arm: 31.88
Hand: 9.50
Wingspan: 77.25
Sports Illustrated‘s Albert Breer reported earlier this week Harrison would be in Indianapolis to meet with teams, but he was skipping all of the testing drills and was training to keep his body in football shape.
Comparing Harrison’s measurables to other recent first-round receivers, he stacks up favorably next to former Ohio State standouts Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson.
Olave was just over 6 feet tall with a 73.13-inch wingspan, 31.13-inch arms and 9.5-inch hands. Wilson measured in under 6 feet with a 76.5-inch wingspan, 32-inch arms and 9.9-inch hands.
The last wide receiver selected in the top five was Ja’Marr Chase to the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021. He is smaller than Harrison in height (just over 6 feet), wingspan (74.9 inches) and arm length (30.75 inches), but slightly bigger hands (9.6 inches).
Justin Jefferson, who is the consensus best receiver in the NFL right now, measured in at 6’1″ with 33-inch arms and 9.1-inch hands. His wingspan wasn’t measured.

Marvin Harrison Jr. went undrafted as a WR in the 2023 draft class. He did not qualify for a #RAS due to a lack of measurements. https://t.co/LMWCOnXe5O pic.twitter.com/zFdvYppZFM

Doesn’t affect anything his overall projection, but Marvin Harrison Jr. has below average arm length for his height. Best size comp right now is Austin Pettis at 6-3 209 pounds with 33.75 arm length and 9.625 hand size. https://t.co/Hre5AvoOHS
Breer’s report also noted Harrison hasn’t hired an agent. His pre-draft plan is to keep working with Ohio State strength and conditioning coach Mickey Marotti to stay ready for football, rather than change his workout plan to put up numbers in combine testing.
There was nothing to gain for Harrison by going through any workouts this weekend. He’s been the overwhelming favorite to be the first non-quarterback off the board in this year’s draft basically since the end of the 2023 draft.
B/R’s NFL scouting department projected Harrison to go No. 4 overall to the Arizona Cardinals in its most recent mock draft on Feb. 12.
Harrison has two years of elite-level play for the Buckeyes that is on tape for NFL teams to evaluate. He caught 155 passes for 2,613 yards and 28 touchdowns in 25 games since the start of the 2022 season.
