Percy Harvin interview

[Hawkinaz]

Short interview

 

[Trackhawk]

Not surprised. I remember some replays of his scoring return that started the second half, and I remember thinking "that boy's eyes are bloodshot as hell."

 

[AROS]

Yeah I remember he looked glossy eyed a lot.

Sad.

Golden Tate talks about this on the podcast Bussin with the Boys

When he was "ON" he was amazingly elusive and special. The rest of the time he was mostly invisible.

Yet an another self absorbed and self entitled athlete who toked his way out of the NFL. Another coulda, woulda, shoulda guy.

Suspect the 'anxiety disorder' stuff is simply an excuse.

After the Vikings drafted him in 2009, he failed to finish the flight to Minny for his first post draft visit because of a migraine (supposedly). I watch the Gators and knew a little about his issues, so when that happened, I knew he'd be a head case in the League. Too bad, he was an athletic specimen.

I think he had really bad chronic migraines but yeah, him and Josh Gordon are poster boys of that era.

Sealed the super bowl win..seahawks legend.

 

[uncle fester]

Yeah, that’s kinda where I go with it. Halftime at SB48, you know Peyton Manning still thought they had a chance. 12 seconds into the second half, the heads started to hang on that sideline.

Legend?? Not hardly. Footnote maybe, but not much of one. The guy did next to nothing here and was a headcase from the start.

I know a few people with the same anxieties and migraines as the kind Percy mentioned. It’s really not pretty.

The stuff they have to go through just to even leave the house every morning makes all of the average Joe’s worries pale into insignificance.

Filling someone with those issues full of prescription drugs can’t be a long term solution. If weed chilled him out then fair play to him.

 

[IndyHawk]

Between him and Jamal Adams we gave up so much for so little.
A Pete flaw, going for flashy players that fail here at least.

Then those types shouldn't be playing the game really.

By the time PH got to Seattle it was widely reported the Dr's had found a safe non-cannabis cure for Harvin's migraines. He was just a stoner who had a 'excuse' to get high.

He could have been amazing and was at times when he wanted to play. The rest of the time he get was getting high and getting well paid for not doing much but getting high while reporting questionable "injuries".

PH was yet another shiny object trade acquisition mandated by Pete that was expensive and underperformed its cost. Sure did love watching Harvin when he was 'on' hough, he could've been nothing short of spectacular if he had stayed 'on'.

 

[CouchLogic]

Hell yeah.

 

[Bobblehead]

Explains why WIlson was always pointing to him, where to be on the line.

Add in Jimmy Graham. He had some production here but only lasted three years. We went through a long stretch where we just didn’t respect the draft, and the roster became decrepit as a result. They changed their approach in 2022, and now every position group is stacked with interesting, young talent.

Meant to agree with Indy’s post so this will currently read wildly out of context…
