The NFL Combine wraps up tomorrow. Former Florida Gator Percy Harvin was there, hoping to improve his draft stock. A lot of mocks I’ve seen him him going late in the first round.

Harvin came in measured at 5-feet-11¾ and 194 pounds. On Sunday, he ran the 40 in 4.41 seconds, the sixth fastest time among 45 receivers at the combine (some clocks had him at 4.37 and 4.32). Harvin also bench-pressed 225 pounds 19 times, the fifth most among receivers.

Those are impressive numbers considering he’s still not 100% from his ankle innjury back in December.

“That’s why I’m going to take a little more time to run the routes at my pro day,” Harvin said. “(The ankle) swelled up a lot (after the championship game). The break hasn’t healed all the way so I can’t cut, but I can definitely run straight ahead.”

So where does Percy stand in the draft? If he entered as a running back, he would have posted the fastest time. There’s no question he can do multiple things on the field.

“A lot of teams want to know my durability and whether I can be a pure receiver,” Harvin said this week during the NFL Scouting Combine, which continues through Tuesday at Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis.

“I’ll answer a lot of those questions on my pro day.”

The Gator Pro Day will be held on March 18, 2009.
