The first four weeks of the 2025 NFL season included multiple crucial drops from star WR Marvin Harrison Jr., and many were concerned that these mistakes would linger not just this season but would follow him the rest of his career with the Cardinals. In the first half of the game against Seattle, Harrison Jr. continued his mistakes, including bobbling a pass that led to an interception, and also stopped running his route halfway through, leading to a Kyler Murray interception.

Although Marvin Harrison Jr. shone above it all in the second half of the Cards game last Thursday, as he was performing the way Cardinals fans thought he would when he first came into the NFL. Cardinals legend and former WR Larry Fitzgerald noticed that his work in the second half was the best he has played all season, and could only grow from it.
