'You’ll never regret the day you drafted me.' MikeHarleyjr talks to JustinM_NFL about the message he has for potential NFL teams, which teams have spoken to him already, life as a new dad, and so much more. FrontOffice33 | NFLDraft
is ready to embark on several new journeys as the turn of the calendar promises to deliver adventure in abundance. The former Hurricanes pass-catcher enters the 2022 NFL Draft after experiencing an exciting senior season that saw the Fort Lauderdale native record 57 receptions for 543 yards and five touchdowns in a successful showing en route to becoming the program’s all-time receptions leader.
MHJR: That meant a lot to me. There’s so many feelings and emotions that come with that. I had to persevere through the adversity. I had to be patient, and I had to trust the multi-year process as well. Becoming the record-holder was the icing on the cake of my collegiate career. It properly captures everything I’ve been through. That record was in place for 21 years before I came along. We’ve had so many great receivers, as you said. It’s really special.
Playing on the outside, I’ve seen plenty of guys my size line up outside. DeSean Jackson did it at the highest level for such a long time. Jackson can play both inside and outside. We’ve seen Justin Jefferson do it as well. You just have to get the ball in my hands. I’m a playmaker. JM: Those are some great descriptions. You talked about playing a versatile role for the Hurricanes. How did playing in Miami’s offense help prepare you for the next level?
MHJR: I appreciate the well wishes. It’s had a major impact on my life. Fatherhood forces you to look at the bigger picture. It’s not all about me right now. I’m doing it for my little man, my son. He’s already taught me so much. Life is never about selfishness. I’ve never been a selfish person. Football is a team sport and I’ve always believed in the power of playing for the man next to you. I have a son now that’s counting on me. I have to put him first. It really opened my eyes.
