Marvin Harrison Jr. Reveals Weight Gain and Goals for the New Season
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has confirmed the weight he has gained during this offseason. Following the first practice of Wednesday’s training camp, Harrison Jr. revealed that he now weighs 220 pounds, according to the team’s roster. This represents an increase from the 209 pounds he weighed last season, when he was a rookie.
Harrison explained that the changes in his training approach and eating habits were key to this weight gain. The photos of Harrison in uniform generated reactions on social media.
I’d say the first few weeks you get used to it. I’m not much of a breakfast person, but now I have to eat my breakfast, a big breakfast.
The player commented that the biggest challenge was getting used to eating a large breakfast, even when he wasn’t hungry. He pointed out that he didn’t want to gain too much weight, but considers 220 pounds to be a suitable number to add muscle mass naturally. Harrison plans to stay at that weight this season.
Harrison Jr. feels good and ready to demonstrate his physical improvements. Tight end Trey McBride joked about training near Harrison, highlighting his work ethic and potential.
McBride expressed his enthusiasm for seeing Harrison grow alongside quarterback Kyler Murray and establish himself in the offense.
In his second training camp, Harrison feels more relaxed and less nervous than the previous season. His goals for this year are simple: to improve on his performance in his first year. Coach Jonathan Gannon further simplified Harrison’s goals: to improve every day.
The coach emphasized the importance of improving every day, both for Harrison and the rest of the team.
