Marvin Harrison Jr. has yet to play a snap in the NFL or even don pads, but his teammate Michael Wilson anticipates that Harrison will bring his impressive production from Ohio State into the professional league.

"He is very perspicacious and always seeking information," Wilson said.

Wilson, a product of Stanford, described Harrison in this manner on Tuesday after the Cardinals held their lone minicamp practice of the offseason. The term "perspicacious" caused a moment of confusion among the gathered media and even prompted a reaction from Harrison himself.

"Whatever that means," Harrison said with a smile, "it's awesome."

The term refers to having ready insight and understanding, qualities that have been evident during Harrison's brief time in the NFL. The No. 4 overall pick has received considerable praise two months into his pro career despite not having played in a game.

"My expectation for him, he meets and exceeds it thus far," coach Jonathan Gannon said.

Harrison may be insightful but is neither overly talkative nor boastful. He focuses on learning the playbook and cementing his role without speculating about potential statistics. Initially positioned in the middle group during wide receiver drills at OTAs, he had advanced to No. 1 by Tuesday's practice.

"You come in and give respect to people before you no matter where you are drafted," Harrison said. "I didn't want to come in here with a big head."

Attitude and self-awareness are crucial during this part of the offseason, as Wilson noted. Harrison's football skills were already evident.

"I know there is evaluation fatigue when it comes to the draft process and they want to nitpick what he can do and what he can't do," quarterback Kyler Murray said. "But he's been good at football his whole life. He's been groomed by one of the best, his Pops, Hall of Famer, and there's not much to think about. He plays the game at a high level. It's a new level for him but I have no doubt he'll do his thing this year."

Harrison acknowledged Wilson’s assistance with questions but also demonstrated advanced skills that caught Wilson’s attention during practice.

"I can watch a dude and tell if he's got it," Murray said. "He doesn't have to earn my trust."

"If anything," Murray added with a chuckle, "he could break it."

Harrison acknowledges confidence in his abilities while maintaining humility about what he might achieve.

"The game is still the game," Harrison said. "It's still football, the same game you've been playing since you were young."
