The Minnesota Vikings, along with rookie WR Percy Harvin, faced the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday in what was Brett Favre’s first game back. Favre didn’t contribute much, which was expected… what wasn’t expect is Percy Harvin’s near absence from the box score. Percy played with the first team, but didn’t see much action. He had only 2 catches for 9 yards and two kickoff returns.
I didn’t see the game, so I don’t know if Percy just wasn’t targeted or if maybe he dropped a few catches. If you saw the game and have some insight, please leave a comment. I would really like to see the Vikings use Percy in the running game as well. I did read though that Percy grabbed a low catch, showing he’s got great hands.
The Vikings play next week on Monday night and Percy should play a full three quarters. This will be his chance to prove he belongs in the starting lineup on opening day.

I was in MN and saw the game on TV. Percy didnt drop any catches, they just didnt throw much to him. Seemed like when he was in, he was a decoy for other players. He looked good. He almost broke a tackle on a kickoff return for a huge gainer. Can’t wait to see the Monday night game on tv.
Percy looked ok. If i had to give him an overall grade I would probably give him “C”. Only because he only had 2 catches for 9 yards. He looked ok on kick returns as well. It looked like his First NFL game.
