    As the No. 4 pick in the 2024 draft, the Arizona Cardinals selected wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., Many thought that he would immediately be a vocal point of Arizona’s offense. In his NFL debut, he was only targeted three times.

    When running the offensive coordinator Drew Petzing’s system against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray said it wasn’t his job to force targets to Harrison:

    “As a quarterback, obviously, you’re going through your reads,” Murray said, per Craig Morgan of PHNX. “Sometimes the ball goes to him, but that’s not my job.

    “I have a sense and a feel for guys when they don’t get the ball and when they are getting the ball, but I leave that up to Drew. He tells me, ‘Don’t worry about that type of stuff. Just keep playing your game and get the ball to where the ball is supposed to go.'”

    Harrison finished his NFL debut with one catch for four yards. Wideout Greg Dortch led the team with six catches, while Trey McBride received the most targets with nine.

    Murray meanwhile connected on 21 of 31 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown.
