College Football News recently published their ranking of the top 32 prospects for the 2009 NFL Draft. They ranked Percy Harvin as the second best wide receiver prospect and #19 overall. Here’s a quick excerpt of what they had to say:
19. Percy Harvin, WR Florida (Jr.)
He might not be a pure wide receiver at an NFL level, but he’s an elite playmaker no matter how he gets the ball in his hands. No, he’s not going to be a No. 1 target for anyone, but he’ll be a fun toy for some creative offensive coordinator to play with.
I would have ranked Harvin higher then 19 overall. If he has a season like everyone is expecting, he could very well be a top 10 pick in the Draft. He has Reggie Bush like skills… meaning he’s very fast, has amazing hands, and is versatile. Teams will love the fact that they can use Harvin in several different positions and situations.
It will be interesting to see if Harvin comes out after his junior year. I guess it all comes down to what kind of season he has. Should he get hurt or have a down year, I really think he’ll be back fo his senior year, making him ready for the 2010 Draft.
