Marvin Harrison Jr. became a true star on Wednesday.
A Patrick Star, that is.
In a X post from the Arizona Cardinals, the former Ohio State wide receiver was named NVP – Nickelodeon Valuable Player – then dropped an iconic SpongeBob SquarePants reference before being "slimed" by former Ohio State offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr., his Arizona teammate.

The clip opens with Harrison wearing a purple chain and a card from Nickelodeon informing him that he's been chosen as NVP this week. Harrison and Johnson – shown standing behind his Cardinals teammate in a hat shaped like slime – then join in singing a tune many children of the 2000s will recognize.
"The Krusty Krab pizza
Is the pizza
For you and me"
Harrison then examines his NVP trophy with a smile before Johnson "slimes" him, gives him a "boom" and then drops the containers in his hands. The video ends with Harrison chasing Johnson, trying to hug him while covered in slime.
The NVP award is given away as part of "NFL Slimetime" on Nickelodeon on Wednesday nights. It is a Player of the Week honor decided by a fan vote. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes called it "one of the best trophies I've ever gotten."
Harrison collected 130 yards and two touchdowns off four receptions, all in the first quarter, during Arizona's 41-10 blowout of the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
