I forget his NFL career :yeshrug:

He had that big kick off return touchdown at the start of the second half in Super Bowl XLVIII. It was crazy because that was the second straight year that there was an opening kickoff return touchdown in the second half on the Super Bowl, and also the third straight year that there was a safety in the Super Bowl.

I remember garcia was the first player I remember missing more of his eligible games than playing but would still be productive when he played. It was like you knew you were going to get at most half a season from him.

Percy was dangerous before the injuries piled up. But the migraines is something he's been dealing with since he was a kid.

Percy Harvin walked away from football for good in March 2017, leaving behind a legacy of a spectacular talent that was unable to stay on the field.

Unfortunately for Harvin, the most lasting memory of his eight-year tenure in the NFL was a string of debilitating migraine headaches that never allowed him to match the lofty expectations.

A former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2009 (No. 22 overall), Harvin detailed his ongoing ordeal of battling migraines in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated.

“Take a hammer and beat it on the side of your head nonstop,” Harvin said in describing the sensation. “If you’re trying to relax, if someone’s trying to talk to you, that hammer is still going off. You’re trying to eat, still going off.”

Harvin, who endured the migraines from the time he was 7 years old, was a star at the University of Florida, combining with Tim Tebow to lead the Gators to a BCS national championship in 2009

Harvin reflects on ordeals caused by migraines | Visit NFL Draft on Sports Illustrated, the latest news coverage, with rankings for NFL Draft prospects, College Football, Dynasty and Devy Fantasy Football.

Imagine dealing with that 24/7 on top of the regular aches and pains as a football player. At least breh is at peace with his decision. He walked away with 2 national titles and a SB ring. He's good. Crazy he's still only 33.

in the Deebo vs Harvin convo being on the field gotta count in the debate
but UF Harvin was the damn man

There's no wrong answer. Both have a similar skillset, but differ from each other too. Percy was a WR that can play RB when called. Deebo is a damn RB that lines up out out wide. Deebo outweighs Percy by 30 lbs which helps absorb contact, but Percy was faster.

I wish Percy had the same greenlight Deebo has from Shannan. Minny was too busy feed AD 40 times a game. Not saying they were wrong tho :yeshrug:

Availability my dude…

Exactly and Percy was always unavailable…

I would watch Percy run back a kickoff and he would literally be in a straight line where he would just run into nikkas at full speed :what:
