One of the best to ever lace 'em up at Ohio State just made some jaws drop. Marvin Harrison Jr. is widely regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest receiver in Buckeye history. That is until Jeremiah Smith showed up in Columbus. Fans certainly haven't forgotten about Marv, but their gaze has turned to No. 4... and the former golden boy understands why.
Recently, Harrison appeared on The Podcast Daily with OSU insiders Austin Ward and Jeremy Birmingham. In one part of the interview, the former Buckeye great was asked about Jeremiah Smith, and Harrison had some high praise for the soon-to-be sophomore. Being the son of an NFL Hall of Fame receiver and pretty good in his own right, Marv knows a thing or two about greatness, calling Smith the "Lebron James of football." Harrison compared Smith's physical attributes to James, saying, "He's just built differently than everybody else." and would go on to say "There is no limit for him."
Harrison also shared some words of advice, telling the young man to enjoy the college experience. As most in the NFL will tell you, college only happens once, and once you get to the league, it's a job, so enjoy your time in Scarlet and Gray for as long as you can.
THE Lebron James of football?
