Marvin Harrison is 49 years old, born on August 25, 1972. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His parents were Linda Harrison and Marvin Green. He took his mother’s last name.

It is almost certain that he was encouraged by his parents as a child to pursue athletics because, without his parents’ support, it would have been hard for him to achieve the heights he has achieved in his career.

He went to Syracuse University, and he set a school record of 2,718 career receiving yards. This record stood for a long time until it was broken in 2017 by Steve Ishmael.
