Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens are both some of the greatest wideouts to ever touch the gridiron, yet they both had very different personas in the media. Owens was the brash, unfiltered diva, and Harrison being stoic and reserved. Today, it has been revealed that Harrison will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer, but not Owens, who is in his first year of eligibility will not.
Speaking with the Talk Of Fame Network, Marvin Harrison was as outspoken as ever when discussing Owens not making the cut.
The person who was supposed to get in got in. And that was me. If he didn’t get in, that’s his problem. He can talk all that other [junk] like he’s been doing. That’s on him. But I’m in. My jacket is gold. I will look in the rear view for nobody.
So he can get his [butt] in whenever he gets in … if he gets in. If he doesn’t get in too bad. The hell with him.
Both Owens and Harrison came into the NFL in 1996 and eventually went on to be some of the best wide receivers to ever play the game. Harrison retired in 2008 3rd all-time in receptions with 1,102 and 5th all-time in receiving touchdowns with 128. Owens on the other hands retired in 2010 and is ranked 6th all-time in receptions with 1,078 and 3rd all-time in receiving touchdowns with 153.
