    eh good point. so you see harvin as a running back in the pro's or a receiver?because sproles was a running back and punt returner.

    on a side note:

    i think it was sproles that went off on Oklahoma in 2003 in the big 12 championship game to lead K state to a victory. we all know what happened to OU after that.

    Florida is a different kind of scary with Harvin. Without him, they're just regular scary.

    If he goes to a team who knows how to use him, he should be a big star. He's one of the fastest guys in pads that I've ever seen.

    And one of the strongest guys especially for his size. He was on ESPN doing seated military presses with 100lb dumb bells. Thats crazy strong.

    He will be a star as long has the injury bug doesnt bite him.

    if he goes to the right team, he can be all of the above.



    nah im hoping hes going to be good at returns, running and receiving.


    and he can bench press 400+ lbs. insane. thats more than twice his weight.

    its going to be really crazy when payton selects him in the first round.

    Maybe the Saints can put him at DE. I bet he gets around the edge quicker then Grant or Smith. Then again, that's not saying much.:hihi:

    Can't say I'm too surprised. I've grown particularly fond of Percy over the past two seasons, so it's sad to see him go, but it happens.

    I was exepecting him to put more thought into it with Tebow returning, but on second thought I see his reasoning.

    Basically I feel as though he's leaving now so he doesn't have to worry about getting injured as a senior, which would obviously hurt his stock even worse.

    Smart move.
