WR's brittle nature could be key factor

Some NFL teams may have issues with Percy Harvin's injury history: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/college/orl-sportsharvin13011309jan13,0,7821934.story

I'm sure he won't be seeing the ball 30-35 times a game in the NFL.

Personally, I think he should stay one more year in college unless: (1) he's been projected as a first-round pick, and (2) he'll be 100% healthy for the Conbine and Pro Day workouts.

Once more year of college football can only serve to improve his draft stock.

^^^ Tell that to Matt Leinart

Yeah, but Leinart has an out-of-wedlock child to support.

^^ I was referring to Leianrt's senior season actually hindering his draft status. He could have possibly been the number one overall pick had he come out after his junior year.

I agree; since he's been in the NFL he's been riding the bench in Arizona; Kurt Warner's been tooting his horn.

Many of these underclassmen don't stop and realize that success in the pros is a crapshoot; they may get dollar signs in their eyes when they sign these contracts but when reality hits it ain't pretty if they don't make it.

Keep in mind he riding the bench with a team with a good receiving corp. I doubt he be better with the 49ers.

^^^ Yeah, but he would be riding the bench with a LOT more money.

but would definately be out of a job after his contract was up... at least he can stay with AZ if they resign him for close to the same money as what he is making now... assuming he quits partying

 

[leakbrewergator]

^^^ There is no way his next contract is close to the one he has now. His funds are going to tak a serious dive. At least he'll still have the party circuit.

So, we all agree that Percy needs to stay one more year? Yes?

 

[castawaygator]

if he is expected to go 1st round i would go! sure any gator fan would love for hm to come back, but it may not be best for him. notto mention what happens if he gets more injuries next yr.

 

[leakbrewergator]

I've heard reports that he's been told he could be a top 25 pick. I think he should go if that's the case. This is the last year for rookies taken in the first round to get absurd amounts of money. I'm usually a big proponent of staying all four years, but if Harvin is guaranteed to go in the top 25, then I wouldn't fault him at all for leaving.

Harvin has given so much to Gator Nation. If he wants to make a little money in this year's draft, he deserves it.

Good luck Harvin!

ESPN is projecting him in the top 25, but a lot could change between now and after the Combine / Pro Day workouts.
