Ohio State's star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is a hot name for the NFL Draft, and it looks like he has his eyes set on one team in particular.
The Los Angeles Chargers, Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans are all interested in him, but Harrison Jr. wants to play for the Cardinals, according to his former teammate at Ohio State, offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr.
Johnson Jr. shared that Harrison Jr. is hoping to join him in Arizona. The Cardinals have the No.4 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and with the top three picks expected to be quarterbacks, Harrison Jr. could be their man.
On the Cardinal Corner podcast, Johnson Jr. said: "I literally went to Marvin and was like, 'You know you're a Cardinal, right? ' I knew he was going to be a Cardinal because I saw what happened with DeAndre Hopkins.
"I'm like, the Cardinals are probably going to want another six-four receiver. So I'm like, dude, I have a feeling, you're probably going to be a Cardinal. He said he wanted to be a Cardinal."

The Cardinals need a great wide receiver after losing DeAndre Hopkins and not re-signing Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown again. Harrison Jr. is known as a top player, with 28 touchdowns and 2,400 yards in just 25 games, showing he's better than any defender he played against in college football.

They've already had teams ask about the pick, and GM Monti Ossenfort said he's open to trading it. He told reporters: "There will be a big neon sign that says 'open' and I don't like it blinking, it messes with my eyes, but we're always going to be listening."
"I think we'll always have the conversation, we may not get to a point where a deal makes sense, whether it's at 4 or anywhere we're picking, but we're always going to have the conversation and if it makes sense, if it's attractive to building our team, then it's something that we'll certainly consider no matter where we're at in the draft."
