NFL analyst Akbar Gbajabiamila believes Marvin Harrison Jr. is set to take the league by storm.
The Good Morning Football sportscaster has tipped the Arizona Cardinals rookie to eclipse Puka Nacua's record-breaking 2023 season.
Los Angeles Rams wideout Nacua smashed rookie receiving records last year, taking 105 receptions for 1,486 yards.
He also recorded the most receptions (15) and receiving yards (181) in a playoff game by a rookie.
"I think of Puka Nacua and how he came as a fifth-rounder, broke rookie records, set rookies, set a rookie record, and 1,486 yards in his rookie campaign," Gbajabiamila told Tuesday's edition of GMFB.
"I mean, he became that guy for the Rams.

"I think a guy who could do that this year in this rookie class is none other than Marvin Harrison Jr."
Harrison Jr. is the son of NFL Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, a former Super Bowl champion and eight-time Pro Bowler.
The Cardinals took the rookie star out of Ohio State as the No. 4 overall pick in this year's Draft.
And Gbajabiamila believes he will have instant chemistry with Cardinals QB Kyler Murray.

"I think he's coming into a situation where he is going to be the guy," the GMFB analyst continued.
"He's going to be the focal point. He is the star wide receiver.
"We already know what Kyler Murray can do. Now you give him a legitimate weapon like a Marvin Harrison Jr.
"Oh, man. I mean, I think he may break Puka Nacua record because that's going to be the emphasis now."
Gbajabiamila's bold take was met with skepticism from some NFL fans on social media.
"He isn’t breaking Puka’s record," declared one fan on X.
