Maybe we haven’t been paying close enough attention to Marvin Harrison over the years. 

Because this week’s shooting potentially involving Harrison wasn’t his first incident.  Or his second.

It’s his third.

Granted, the five-year-old incident involving Harrison is a far cry from a shooting.  But it’s further evidence that maybe Marvin isn’t the great guy that we’ve been led to believe he is.

In 2003, Harrison allegedly knocked a Jets’ ball boy to the ground because Jets punter Matt Turk was kicking balls in the direction of Harrison and quarterback Peyton Manning prior to a game.

Jets radio analyst Marty Lyons reported at the time that Harrison also put his hands on the boy’s neck before the two were separated. 

The Jets confirmed that there was an incident, and the league said it was aware of it.  But that was the end of it.
