Marvin Harrison Jr. is a certified top-10 draft pick. Tomorrow, the sure-handed playmaker out of Ohio State will hear his name called by Commissioner Roger Goodell at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, Michigan. On Tuesday, Harrison confirmed he signed a partnership agreement with New Balance, joining NFLers Chase Young and Will Anderson Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr., the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, is not only a talented wide receiver but projects to become a significant figure in the world of sports. At this year’s NFL Draft, he will unveil New Balance’s inaugural American football cleat, named the “Prodigy,” marking a significant milestone in the brand’s history.

“I just think the values that New Balance and I share have aligned,” Harrison Jr. told Andscape’s Aaron Dodson about the deal. “Most importantly, the brand will allow me to have an impact on the community and the younger generation. I want to inspire young athletes to be great in their own way.”
“From the first conversation with Marvin it was clear that he was a perfect fit for us at New Balance,” Naveen Lokesh, New Balance’s head of global sports marketing for American football and basketball, said to Andscape.
Harrison is projected to be on the radar for the Arizona Cardinals who select at No. 4 in the 2024 NFL Draft.
