Harrison Jr. became the Cardinals’ first receiver to be selected inside the top five since Larry Fitzgerald 20 years ago.

Despite how pumped up Arizona fans are, they still cannot purchase his jerseys, unlike the other draft prospects.

The reason for that is Harrison Jr. has yet to sign his NFLPA licensing deal, which is what allows his NFL merchandise to be sold publicly.

NFL Network’s National Insider Ian Rapoport explained the situation to fans on social media.

“ATTN CARDINALS FANS: Currently, Fanatics and other retailers are not able to offer Marvin Harrison Jr. merchandise until he signs a licensing contract with the NFLPA. Products will be immediately available once he signs,” Rapoport said on Friday morning.

Kyler Murray, along with the rest of the Cardinals’ roster, coaching staff, and organization are more than pumped about bringing in a generational wide receiver prospect to the Valley.

While we will be seeing more Harrison Jr. jerseys locally than any in a couple of months, Cardinal fans have to wait until the former Buckeye signs his licensing deal.
