Why is it that Percy Harvin is getting sick every month? Harvin got ill and had to be sent home from the NFL rookie symposium. The NFL rookie symposium is when all the rookies meet and they have veteran players talk to them about choosing friends, managing money, etc. It’s basically an orientation to the NFL. The event is being held in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida… which isn’t to far from Percy’s home in Gainesville. There’s a chance he might return to the symposium, but I wouldn’t count on it.
This is now the second time Percy has been ill since being drafted by the Vikings. I hope it’s not a sign of things to come in the future. I don’t remember Harvin missing any time with the Gators because of an illness or flu. Someone needs to shoot him up with some Vitamin C and flush all that bacteria out of his system.
Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress is completely and utterly impressed with Percy Harvin’s playmaking ability. “I think the first thing I thought about was really the same feelings the first time we handed Adrian Peterson the ball,” Childress said. “When you see it with your own eyes … the thing that came to mind right away was, ‘Wow.’”
This is something we’ve known about for years on Harvin Zone. Throughout his entire life, Percy has been touted as the most most versatile playmaker any time he steps foot on the field. Even with Adrian Peterson on his team, that title could carry on to the NFL. The Vikings just need to make sure he gets the touches.
Former Minnesota Vikings running back Chuck Foreman is excited about the upcoming season and the prospect of having Percy Harvin on the field. “I think we got the best receiver in college football in Percy Harvin, I firmly believe that,” Foreman said. “I think the Vikings have potential to do some great things during the football season.”
The Vikings have already put together a dozen or more plays specifically designed for Percy Harvin. You can bet that they disected every play from his Florida Gator days and built a playbook that will surprise and baffle the opposing defenses.

The NFL Rookie photo shoot was recently held. Percy Harvin was there wearing his new purple Vikings Jersey. ToppsTV was there on hand to conduct an interview with our favorite Viking! Find out what they asked him.
Imagine watching a Minnesota Vikings game this year and hearing the announcer say “Favre drops back… he’s got time… Percy Harvin makes an amazing catch and is running down the sideline … to the 10 to the 5 … TOUCHDOWN!”
It might seem crazy right now, but it could be a reality. Brett Favre was released by the Jets and has been debating back and forth about whether or not to come out of retirement to play for the Vikings. Would this be a good thing though? Favre does have a better arm than Tavaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels, but is bringing in a 40 year old QB the right thing to do?
With Favre at quarterback, Percy Harvin will get a lot more looks since Brett seems to just gunsling it no matter what. He’s no necessarily going to check it down all the time.
What do you think? Do you want Favre throwing Percy the ball?
As a huge Gator fan I hate to see Percy Harvin leave… but he’s entered a new stage of his career now. I upgrade this websites software and design to reflect the Minnesota Vikings team colors. It only make sense. I still welcome all Florida Gator fans to come visit here, but as you can imagine, this fan site will now focus on Percy’s career as a Viking.
Viking fans can expect to see plenty of blog updates, especially during football season. I’ll also bring you photos, videos, etc… pretty much anything you normally find on a fan site. If there’s anything special you’d like to see, please comment.
The Vikings mini camps are underway… what better way for fans to kick off a 2009 NFL Season then by purchasing the Vikings No. 1 Draft Pick Percy Harvin’s new jersey. Percy Harvin will be wearing #12. You can pick up the purple replica Vikings Harvin jersey for only $79.95. There’s no doubt in my mind Percy will blow up this year and contribute big numbers in this offense. He could be rookie of the year… making his jersey a hot item. Be one of the first to own it!
The Minnesota Vikings got a small scare last week when their No. 1 draft pick Percy Harvin didn’t show up to their practice facility. Turns out he was found vomiting in an Atlanta airport restroom and was rushed to an area hospital due to severe dehydration.
Coach Brad Childress says Harvin became ill Thursday on a flight to Atlanta. From there he was scheduled to continue to the Twin Cities for the team’s weekend rookie minicamp. However, the wide receiver vomited on the flight and was sent to an Atlanta hospital as a precaution. Childress also says doctors ruled out the swine flu.
Harvin went through an intense workout last week and has also been flying a lot recently, which Childress believes contributed to Harvin’s illness.
Percy Harvin has been released from an Atlanta hospital, and the former Gators star is resting at home in Green Cove Springs with no timetable for his return to Minneapolis.

With the 22nd pick in the 2009 NFL Draft the Minnesota Vikings have selected Percy Harvin. A lot of recent speculation had Percy dropping out of the first round because of his failed drug test, but apparently his talent is just too much to pass up on at Pick 22.
Percy is going to just KILL it with Percy Harvin. Coupled with Adrian Peterson (the best running back in the NFL) and Bernard Berrian, they are now going to have an extremely explosive offense. Percy Harvin will also be running indoors on the floor rather then grass. He is going to just be insanely fast in that stadium. Sure the Vikings have issues at quarterback, but rest of their offense is just going to be scary good.
I really couldn’t have thought of a better team for Percy to go to. The Vikings will utilize all his abilities and let him run in space. I’m looking forward to decking this website our in purple and gold now.

Day 1 of the NFL Draft is tomorrow. The day Percy Harvin fans have been waiting for since he declared for the draft after winning his second BCS National Championship. It’s been a bumpy road for PErcy these past few months. He killed it at the Combine and the Pro Day. His stock was going up and up… with some mock place him into the top 10. Though like a roller coaster that climbs 300 ft, the ride must come down. Once Percy’s failed drug test was reported it was nothing but downhill. Couple the drug test with rumored coaching issues and injury concerns and you now have someone who is the most purely talented player in the draft possibly falling into the second round. We’ll know what happens tomorrow.
Of all the CBS Sports mock drafts, Pete Prisco is the only one who has Percy going in the first round (#29 to the Giants). The National Football Post also has him going to the Giants. With the recent developments of Plaxico Burress, I’m not sure Tom Coughlin will draft a WR with some issues in the first round (remember RJ Soward?). I personally see him being drafted at No. 30 to the Tennessee Titans.
