Marvin Harrison Jr. to Cardinals with No. 4 pick in NFL draft - ESPN

Despite the speculation that the Arizona Cardinals could trade the fourth overall pick in the NFL draft, Arizona stood pat Thursday night and selected former Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

The son of Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, the younger Harrison became just the third receiver taken by the Cardinals in the first round in the last 20 years, joining Larry Fitzgerald, who went third overall in 2004, and Michael Floyd, the 13th pick in 2012.

Harrison was widely considered the best receiver prospect in this year's draft after an accomplished college career that saw him finish fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting. He was a two-time unanimous All-American for the Buckeyes, and finished his career with 155 catches for 2,613 yards and 31 touchdowns.

Harrison raised eyebrows earlier this year when he opted to not work out at the NFL scouting combine but met with teams, and then again when he didn't work out at Ohio State's pro day.

Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort said throughout the offseason that he's a proponent of gathering all the possible information on a player, but respected Harrison's decision to not work out for teams.

Harrison met with the Cardinals at the combine, and Arizona was one of two top-30 visits he made.
