Former Ohio State football player gets sued

Former Ohio State football player Marvin Harrison Jr. was the fourth overall pick in the NFL Draft. He was the first non-quarterback taken. With the numbers that he put up with the Buckeyes, it made sense. He was the best offensive player that Ohio State had. Quite frankly, most of the game plan was around what he could do on the field.

With what he could do, the Arizona Cardinals decided that they wanted to make him a part of their organization. Since he was drafted though, Harrison Jr. has been a major distraction. He still hasn’t signed his paperwork so that fans can buy his jersey. He is trying to get more money from Fanatics first. Now, he’s getting sued.

Ex-Ohio State football player is being sued by Fanatics

Harrison Jr. is being sued by Fanatics for breach of contract. They claim that he has not fulfilled the obligations he agreed to when he signed an NIL deal with them while still with Ohio State. He also has a website that is set up to sell signed memorabilia, which would go against the contract he signed.

This is just a big distraction for someone who is a rookie and is trying to start a career. This is unnecessary. He should be trying to be the best player and best teammate that he can be. It’s also unclear how long this will drag on. Lawsuits can get pretty nasty sometimes, especially when this much money is involved.

We can only hope for Harrison Jr.’s sake that it doesn’t drag on for too long. He is expected to be one of the best players on the team right away with the talent that he has. In order for him to be ready for that, he needs to put distractions like this behind him. This is not the ideal start for his NFL career.
