Percy Harvin turned 20 years old on May 28th. Happy Birthday!
You’ve accomplished a lot in your young age. You’ve been an All-America, SEC Freshman of the Year, and BCS National Champion. What could someone like you possible wish for on his birthday?
I’d like to make a wish for Percy. A healthy football career.
So once again, Happy Birthday from all your fans! Here’s a virtual cake for you.
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I updated the Percy Harvin Pictures page. I’m not sure I’ve added photos since I launched this site.
Well I took a few minutes today and found 4 new Percy Harvin pics that I wanted to add to the picture page. Believe it or not, Percy is actually wearing #1 in these pictures! All the old ones were him wearing #8.
I really wanted to add some candid shots of Percy hanging with some girls or fans, but I couldn’t find any good ones. If you have a picture of Percy Harvin that you don’t mind sharing, send it to me and I’ll gladly put it up online. Once the season rolls around, we’ll be adding more photos frequently. I’ll try to get a shot or two from every game.
Last night, Florida Gator coach Urban Meyer gave his latest Percy Harvin update. Just two months after undergoing surgery on his injured heel, Percy has started running in a pool.
“It’s real positive right now,” Meyer said. “I just talked to (strength and conditioning coach) Mickey Marotti five minutes ago and Percy is almost 200 pounds. He’s 199. His attitude is terrific.
Running in pools helps strength muscles and recover from injuries by using the resistance of the water. It’s much safer then using weights and running on a treadmill. By being in a pool, Percy isn’t putting any weight on his heel just yet.
At his current pace, Percy Harvin could be back at 100% and ready to go by the end of July, which is ahead of schedule.
I was reading through some Florida Gator news and saw a quote from Urban Meyer.
“He’s good,” Meyer said. “He is working five days a week and three days a week he’s doing rehab. He’s at 196 pounds and strong as an ox.”
What stuck out most to me was not the fact that Percy Harvin is getting healthy… we knew that much, it’s that Meyer said he’s at 196 lbs. That weight seemed a little heavy to me so I went to ESPN and Gator Zone and both of those websites list Percy at 176 lbs. So who is telling the truth? A 20 pound difference is a lot of a wide receiver who is only 5′11″.
Maybe Percy has been bulking up since the Bowl Game? Maybe he added on some pounds since he wasn’t able to work out for several months? I don’t know, but by September I hope he drops some of that weight down. The most important part of Harvin’s game is his speed… and an extra 20 lbs won’t help speed him up.
Another thing I noticed on ESPN is that they list Percy Harvin as a running back. Not even a RB/WR. In 2007, Percy did have more carries then receptions, but that doesn’t mean he is a running back. Someone at ESPN needs to switch it up.
Urban Meyer was in Tallahassee on Tuesday night giving a speech to the Capital Area Gator Club. Yes, there are Gator fans in Tally. He had a couple of quick notes on the progress of Florida Gator wide receiver Percy Harvin.
Meyer noted that Percy Harvin is off crutches and is wearing a boot to protect the heel that underwent surgery earlier in the spring. Being able to walk on the injured heel is a good sign and it will help strengthen his foot in time for practice. Meyer also said Percy Harvin is lifting weights three days per week but is not yet ready to start running.
This is great news coming from Meyer. All Percy fans should be happy to know he is healthy and still remains on schedule to be ready in time for two-a-days.
It is a common belief among football experts and Gator fans that Percy Harvin will go pro after his junior year. This makes the 2008 season his last as a Gator. Of course no one right now, but Percy, knows if he will stay for four years or go early… but it’s never too early to look at NFL mock drafts for 2009.
I did a quick Google search and found two mock drafts tat are complete opposites. One of them has Percy Harvin going #28 overall to the Indianapolis Colts and the other mock draft has Percy Harvin going #7 overall to San Francisco. How can there be a difference of 20+ picks in these two drafts. One of the authors must be a Gator Hater.
I think that if Percy Harvin meets expectations this year and avoids injury all season long that he is a guaranteed top 10 draft pick. The only thing that could knock him down some is injury.
