Marvin Daniel Harrison (born August 25, 1972, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American football player who played for Syracuse University and is currently playing in the NFL for the Indianapolis Colts. Harrison is one of the three most valuable wide receivers. He possesses great speed, route-running skills and the ability to make plays every time he touches the ball. Harrison benefits from a great rapport with quarterback Peyton Manning, not to mention the support of a strong running game led by Joseph Addia & Dominick Rhodes and an improved group of complementary receivers. Former Bills head coach Marv Levy once said, "He wants to be judged by his performence, not his celebrations and antics". In a recent CNN Sports poll, 3 of the 5 NFL cornerbacks interviewed said they would rather not defend Harrison 1-on-1 out of any receiver in the league. Many have said that Randy Moss is the only receiver with an opportunity to break Jerry Rice's records. Statistically, however, Marvin Harrison's averages would reach all of Jerry Rice's numbers faster then Randy Moss's would. From 1999, his break-out season, no one has caught more passes, more yards, or more TD's. In fact, his 7 straight seasons of at least 80+ receptions, 1000+ yards, or 10 or more touchdowns is a feat that no receiver has ever matched. He is considered likely to be a first ballot hall of famer when he retires. He is 16 receptions away from passing Art Monk, a remarkable feat considering Monk played 16 seasons, whereas Harrison has played only ten. Marvin is also known by fans and fellow players for his uncanny sportsmenlike conduct. He has rarely, if at all celebrated after a touchdown. It is a main reason why many people feel he is one of the biggest role models in the NFL. This could also be a primary reason why he is hardly mentioned by the media, primarily ESPN, compared to the coverage fellow receivers Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, and Chad Johnson receive. After he caught his 900th career reception in 2005, he celebrated by running back to the huddle for the next play.
PRO HISTORY Pick was obtained in package from Atlanta in QB-Jeff George trade. He was drafted in 1996 by the Colts out of Syracuse University as the 19th overall pick. On December 9, 2004 Harrison signed a seven-year extension worth $67 million. CAREER NOTES
