Breaking: Lawsuit filed against Marvin Harrison Jr., former Ohio State football standout
Columbus, Ohio — Marvin Harrison Jr., a former wide receiver for Ohio State football, filed his first lawsuit in the professional ranks several months ahead of his debut. Harrison was sued by zealots in the Supreme Court of New York for breach of contract.
The business, which is a well-known manufacturer of trading cards, sportswear, and other items, claims it inked a $1 million-plus contract with Harrison in May of last year. Fanatics claims Harrison has not complied with the conditions of the agreement in the lawsuit that was filed on Saturday night.
Harrison’s representatives tell ESPN that there isn’t a deal like that. Harrison had a two-time unanimous All-America career at Ohio State before being selected by the Arizona Cardinals fourth overall in last month’s NFL Draft.
According to ESPN, certain information regarding Harrison’s contract with Fanatics was removed from the case. The Official Harrison Collection LLC is another defendant named in the lawsuit. Harrison uses the website The Official Harrison Collection LLC to offer autographed memorabilia.
According to reports, Harrison is represented by his father, NFL Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison Sr., and does not have an agent. Harrison ought to be among the NFL’s top rookie jersey sellers and have a great Madden video game rating.
Harrison, meanwhile, is absent from those configurations having declined to sign an NFLPA contract thus far.
Harrison approached the pre-draft process in a slightly unconventional way. Neither at Ohio State’s pro day nor at the NFL combine did he work out or participate in media interviews. In the months preceding the draft, he kept up his exercise regimen at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
Now, his commercial dealings with the NFL are likewise off to an unconventional start.
