Mike Freeman from CBS Sports wrote an article titled “Oh mercy! Where’s the Heisman love for Percy?“

Free starts the article off by saying “Please take a moment and consider this statistic about Percy Harvin, who is the best player in college football, part of the Florida offensive juggernaut: Harvin has scored a touchdown in 12 straight games, getting 19 total scores in that two-season span. It’s the second-longest active streak in the country.”

While I think we can all agree that Percy Harvin is the most dynamic player in college football, and that if he were in a different system, he probably would be a Heisman favorite. Because Florida has so many weapons they don’t have to give Percy Harvin the ball 25 times a game to win. If the award was given to purely the best player, despite stats… then percy would have as good a shot as anyone.

Freeman goes on to say:

“Heisman” and “Harvin” aren’t in the same sentence for three main reasons. First, he’s on the same team with Tim Tebow, whose shadow is a mushroom cloud the size of Nebraska. Second, to some, Harvin doesn’t touch the football enough. Third, he’s in Meyer’s offensive system, which inflates numbers drastically.

I doubt he’ll win the Heisman, but it’s nice to see someone in the national media giving him the attention he deserves.
