Marvin Harrison - season 13 begins
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Marvin Harrison shows how it is done!
Marvin Harrison of the Indianapolis Colts suffered a ton of injuries last year. That seems to happen to older players a lot. Will he be back this year? Really back?
But one question persists: Will Harrison be all the way back? Can he not only put an injury-plagued 2007 season behind him, but defy Father Time and regain the form that made him an eight-time Pro Bowl selection, one of the most feared offensive players in the league and the Colts’ record-holder with 1,042 receptions, 13,944 yards and 123 touchdowns?
Injury concerns aside, Harrison, who turns 36 on Aug. 25, is attempting to go where few players have gone before.
36 years old? That is old in football years. Cannot have been a lot of wide receivers that reached the age of 36 and were still playing in the NFL. It never hurts to be in the Colts offense with Peyton Manning throwing the ball to you.
Cris Carter may have some of his records broken by Harrison this year and would love to see it.
Even at age 36?
“Marvin is a guy who kind of defies logic,” Dungy said. “That’s what you hope, that you’re dealing with the rare guy. We saw it with Jerry Rice. You see it with very, very few people. Marvin shows every indication of being that way.”
Cris Carter ranks second to Rice in NFL history in receptions and touchdowns after a 16-year career that likely will deliver him to Canton. He’s fully prepared for Harrison to leapfrog him on both lists this season.
