Sporting News writer Albert Breer quotes a scout about Harrison:
Scout’s take: “Marvin has lost a great deal of his downfield explosiveness and vertical big-play ability. But he’s an exceptional route runner with excellent hands and ball skills, and he still has enough lateral quickness to get in and out of his breaks. What I’d be most concern with, other than age, is the durability factor. But he’s a guy who can help. He’s not going to forget how to play football, and if someone gets hurt in camp, he could end up there.”
The fact that Harrison is still a Free Agent, tells you a lot about what the league thinks Harrison has left.
Still, he did play in 15 games in 2008, and had 60 catches.
For one year, the Ravens could do worse than Harrison as a 3rd or 4th option.
