Op ed from my boy Leaf a Gator and Viking

Purple Haze

 

Percy Harvin has a new nickname, its about time as there never seemed to be one good enough for him in high school or college.

 

When the Vikings selected him they became one of the biggest winners in the NFL draft and the Florida Gators lost an irreplaceable player. In the NFL the Vikings have gained the Percy position and added 30 plays to their playbook. All for Percy. No one on the Gators roster will be able to fill those shoes alone. Not Rainey, Demps, Deonte or Debose. They may all have great seasons but none of them will be able to do all of what Percy Harvin did. No offense to any of those guys, I expect big things from all of them but if I were to be expecting them to replace Percy it would just be unfair to them. Instead, I think Gator fans should be happy with whatever production we get out of all of these talented athletes and know that it will take all of them to provide the electricity that Percy Harvin gave us for three years.

For anyone hoping to continue to follow this great Gator's career you might want to pick him up in your fantasy league.

And for Gator fans who are hoping they will see another player don the Orange and Blue at the Percy position we may be lucky enough to get just that out of Andre Debose. Just try not to get too excited before he plays a game no matter what Urban says.
