Harrison has had his moments throughout the early portion of the 2025 NFL season, but they haven\u2019t been consistent for him to stand out as a threat in the Cardinals\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n

Analyst Damien Harris provided his critique<\/a> on Harrison during his Friday appearance via NFL on CBS. He described the receiver\u2019s displays as timid, wondering if his current mentality is holding him back from being more effective for Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you watch him play, he doesn\u2019t play at a fast pace, he doesn\u2019t he looks timid. His routes aren\u2019t crisp, they\u2019re not clean. He\u2019s oftentimes unsure if he\u2019s going to get the ball. Listen, Marvin Harrison, my brother, you are the number one receiver for Kyler Murray. You are the number one threat. You are the number one option that he has. So I think it\u2019s a big confidence issue,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t look like somebody on the other end of Jackson Smith-Njigba that knows that he\u2019s going to create separations, that knows when the game is on the line, His number is going to be called and he\u2019s going to get open, whether it\u2019s on a hitch, whether it\u2019s on a stop, whether it\u2019s third down, like he just doesn\u2019t look like he has that confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Four games into the season, Harrison has made 16 catches for 208 yards and two touchdowns. His best performances came against the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks, indicating that he can do better as long as he develops his connection with Kyler Murray.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals will prepare for their next matchup, being at home. They host the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 5 at 4:05 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
