Scout's notebook: WR Marvin Harrison

By Joel Buchsbaum
Pro Football Weekly

Notes
Colts' first-round pick in 1996 (19th overall). Has started since entering the NFL. In his first three years, Harrison caught a total of 196 passes, including 21 for scores. Has six TD catches in the first three games this season. Could be QB Peyton Manning's go-to receiver for years to come.

Positives
Superb athlete with excellent hand-eye coordination and timing. Soft hands. Can pluck the ball. Is extremely quick and has sharp cutting ability and almost instant acceleration. Pops into and out of his breaks. Has legitimate deep speed. Adjusts to the ball very well. Is an elusive open-field runner with lots of shake.

Negatives
Not as big, strong and physical as scouts would like, although he has gotten tougher and more physical. At times he will go out of bounds quicker than scouts would like, but he has cut down on this trend dramatically.

Summary
Should be a Pro Bowl, big-play receiver with Manning throwing to him.
