Grew up right down the street from him. He had migraines his whole life. His grandma did too. This kid routinely played pickup football at 9 years old against high schoolers and would ball out. Absolute freak.
@@gk7588 not joking bro. This was at rock creek park. It’s cleaned up now a bit but that used to be the hood. And yes that kid was flat out flying at 9 yrs old. These are the kind of genetics it takes to be a Pro.
I went to salem high school in VA beach (their rival)... He went to landstown and people don't realize their other wide receiver Damon McDaniel was a top 10 wr in the country too...
Hey can you please do a story on Tony Joyner, he was on the national championship team with Percy, and he ended up getting caught up for his ex's murder. I played highschool with toney crazy to think he's serving time and was 1 of the best athletes in the nation
Percy Harvin was such a damn good player in not only University of Florida Gators he won a national champion in 2006 but in 2007 NFL's Rookie of the year with Minnesota Vikings and in 2013 he won a Super Bowl Championship in Seattle Seahawks 3:28
As someone who currently needs a hip replacement because the head of my femur is literally dying I can confidently say hip pain is not the worst. Sciatica is more painful but nothing tops gout. Once the throbbing pain was so bad I couldn't sleep for 2 days.
2011 - 87 Rec for 967 Yds and 6 TDs + 52 Rush Att for 345 Yds and 2 TDs. For a Rushing Comparison I selected 4 random WRs and checked most rush attempts for a single Season. Stefon Diggs - 10 Steve Smith Sr -11 Cooper Kupp - 9 and Ceedee Lamb - 14 Then I looked at the best Rushing WR I could Think of Deebo Samuel and his best rushing season was 59 for 365 but he did have 8 TDs But as a Reciever Deebo never caught more than 77 balls but he did get 1400 yards off those 77 Catches. Percy wasn’t the best WR but he had great versatility in his prime. Unfortunately his prime was really only 1 season.
I think the better question than why did he fail a drug test, why was a plant that helps people cope with ailments or treat health issues demonized and bastardized instead of the people who profited by keeping it illegal...
Jamison Williamson has to be up there, he’s my personal favorite! He absolutely sliced through defenses and outran everyone on the field. But great story Matt , I really enjoy these type of videos! Keep up the great work ❤️
Napoleon Kaufman 5' 8" 180 lb HB out of U W early 90s was so fast and so strong he benched and squatted the most of any Washington players He was a Freak of nature so explosive
Please do a story on Napoleon- I grew up by him (Santa Barbara County)- He was so good in High School we knew he would be pro one day…An absolute force to be reckoned with in the streets and on the field 💥
Call him what you want he still has a national championship, NFL Rookie player of the year award and a Super Bowl ring. Most people dream to have at least one of those accolades.
Great career at UF, decent showing with the Vikings as a pro. He's not Eric Metcalf (or Terry) or any player of that caliber but he was a fun highlight reel for a few years. Go Gators!
@rickderrick7101 LOL, where ya'll going? Also, whether it's with Billy or not, Gators will be back. Ya'll may wanna change your conference so that if you win out you actually get credit.
You wanted to know what happened to Percy. The Olympian thing you mentioned was real he was training with Tim Montgomery back here in Gainesville and was talking about an NFL return at the time. If you want a really interesting story how about another guy who was training with Montgomery after multiple NFL suspensions in an attempt to return to the NFL. Josh Gordon
Hey matt i dont know if you did a video on him but you could do a video about dorial green beckham. I remember you recapped his career in the #1 wrs video but his story is definetely interesting
Do a video about what happened to Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o? That story was pretty unbelievable at the time. I didn’t know whether to feel bad for him or to not believe anyone could be that gullible.
Find the story on Tony vanZant from st.louis, mo he was the number one runnigback in the nation in 1985. Ahead of Emmitt Smith , Thurman Thomas, Jeff George and many others. 100 td's over 6,000 yard in his highschool career. Blew his season up before he got to college..
Being from Florida.. hated UF, loved this guy. Heard something back when he arrived at UF that he and another receiver from his HS team were trying to figure where to go. Harvin said, well Tebow is going to Florida. So that's where he went.
No mention about this dude being the strongest cat on UFs roster!? He lifted with the o line was literally benched an squatted more than Tebow! #research
Heard he experienced cluster headaches too which I myself have gone through for years and they are extremely painful!! The universal nickname "suicide headaches" is correct 😢 hard to function period.
Matt , I would suggest you take a look into former 5* LB Willie Williams . I think he came out of high school in 2003 . The twists related to him pretty much define instant karma .
When I was a kid the first college football speedster I followed was Raghb "Rocket" Ismail. His brothers are Qadry "Missle" and Sulaiman "Bomb". I'd like to see Rocket and his brothers get a video by you.
Completely agree that if he wasn't so good, he wouldn't have gotten the breaks he did. If he could've gotten his act together, he'd have been legendary.
If you watched the 2014 Ohio State team that won the natty, Devin Smith was the definition of game breaking dude seemed to alway be open when you needed him to be on streaks.
The first social media was out years before he was in high school. I don't know the name of the first one i knew about but i got one in 1998 and it hook up to the tv and you could go into a bunch of different chat rooms or Instant message people you knew, there wasn't profiles or profile pictures but you could send pictures.
This dude pissed me off taking in the 2007 natty and in the superbowl where Seattle whooped my broncos ass and I’m an buckeyes fan 😂😂😂 Was hella fun to watch tho
Percy Harvin was that dude, so he was a warrior. He was a once in a generation type of player who was very good at what he does. His career didn’t end well in the NFL.
It would be interesting to see what happend to john franklin III. the cat from FSU that went to emcc and then to Auburn and he went somewhere from there.
Harvin was the kind of dude who most of us looked at as exactly what not to do when you find real success. Dude really could've been so much more, but some people got that Burfict mentality also Reddit aka r/nfl we really try to post factual posts and not just a bunch of BS so I can understand why you'd use that post
You should research Kieth McCants. In a decade where Alabama had some of their best all time linebackers he was the biggest and fastest of them all. I thought he was more of a can't miss NFL player than any player I ever watched. After college his life was very sad mostly because of injuries and drugs, and those were probably cause and effect.

This is such a flat out lie.
9 years old??
@@gk7588why would he lie?……shut up corn ball
You probably never lived down south. I used to see it all the time in Florida.
Yup typical stuff. The older cats see the talent as well and respect it
@@gk7588 not joking bro. This was at rock creek park. It’s cleaned up now a bit but that used to be the hood. And yes that kid was flat out flying at 9 yrs old. These are the kind of genetics it takes to be a Pro.
He lives in the Jacksonville area, and is at UF often helping out. He also didn’t blow his money.
That’s great news, won’t become a after-pro statistic
Gator legend
Did I hear DUUUUUVALL?
I went to salem high school in VA beach (their rival)... He went to landstown and people don't realize their other wide receiver Damon McDaniel was a top 10 wr in the country too...
I’m glad Westfield beat landstown back in 2003
I’m a Seminole fan and you’re WRONG about a lot of stuff. He smoked weed becasue of his severe headaches. That was his only down fall
Yeah he and Harvin decided to go to UF because of Tebow. I just commented about the guy you're talking about but couldn't remember his name.
Hey can you please do a story on Tony Joyner, he was on the national championship team with Percy, and he ended up getting caught up for his ex's murder. I played highschool with toney crazy to think he's serving time and was 1 of the best athletes in the nation
Clearly not dorko, @@goodbro4747he had a lot more issues than just smoking weed
Percy Harvin was such a damn good player in not only University of Florida Gators he won a national champion in 2006 but in 2007 NFL's Rookie of the year with Minnesota Vikings and in 2013 he won a Super Bowl Championship in Seattle Seahawks 3:28
Percy harvin was still a dawg, dude was super talented
One of the best athletes we ever seen
Landstown legend another great product from the 757
Yuph ⭐️
Btw Matt you should do what happened to Lemichael James
He suffered from chronic migraines.. It wasn't easy for him from the get go.. He needed the 🍃🔥 to recover..
People really don’t know there history it’s been documented that he suffered from chronic migraines
Harvin was hardly the first guy whose ability out weighed his character issues
Tavon Austin was a burner at West Virginia. Man definitely would have definitely hit the transfer portal and got PAID!
Hip inflation is the worst pain
As someone who currently needs a hip replacement because the head of my femur is literally dying I can confidently say hip pain is not the worst. Sciatica is more painful but nothing tops gout. Once the throbbing pain was so bad I couldn't sleep for 2 days.
Sterling Sharpe,Jerry Rice,the Mark's Brothers,(Mark Clayton and Mark Duper, Calvin Johnson and the Best I ever seen,Randy Moss
2011 - 87 Rec for 967 Yds and 6 TDs + 52 Rush Att for 345 Yds and 2 TDs. For a Rushing Comparison I selected 4 random WRs and checked most rush attempts for a single Season.
Stefon Diggs - 10
Steve Smith Sr -11
Cooper Kupp - 9 and
Ceedee Lamb - 14
Then I looked at the best Rushing WR I could Think of Deebo Samuel and his best rushing season was 59 for 365 but he did have 8 TDs But as a Reciever Deebo never caught more than 77 balls but he did get 1400 yards off those 77 Catches.
Percy wasn’t the best WR but he had great versatility in his prime. Unfortunately his prime was really only 1 season.
Good shit Matt!!
Hi Mat, love your vid’s, keep up the good work. Can you do the story of Tom Herman (the former Texas head coach). Happy Presidents’ Day!
Quality vid brother. Would love to see a video on Terrance Toliver from LSU. Dude's from my hometown and was the #1 WR recruit in the nation in 07.
Great video.
Percy still the coldest player I’ve seen bro 💯💯💯
I think the better question than why did he fail a drug test, why was a plant that helps people cope with ailments or treat health issues demonized and bastardized instead of the people who profited by keeping it illegal...
great vid matt! you should do Harrison Bailey (Former Tennessee QB)
He was put on this earth to score a TD for the Seahawks in the Superbowl, and then go away.
Jamison Williamson has to be up there, he’s my personal favorite! He absolutely sliced through defenses and outran everyone on the field. But great story Matt , I really enjoy these type of videos! Keep up the great work ❤️
As a Seahawks fan I miss him thank you for being a Seahawks legend
Super Bowl 48 legend Percy Harvin
Yep
Napoleon Kaufman 5' 8" 180 lb HB out of U W early 90s was so fast and so strong he benched and squatted the most of any Washington players He was a Freak of nature so explosive
Please do a story on Napoleon- I grew up by him (Santa Barbara County)- He was so good in High School we knew he would be pro one day…An absolute force to be reckoned with in the streets and on the field 💥
He was suffering from chronic migraines all his life, which is bad in a sport where it's easy to get concussions. He missed games due to that
You should do Peter Warrick next.
That was a mysterious flameout. Especially because his teammate Coles had a long productive career
The only player that popped in my mind that was Elite at all levels was Randy Moss instantly
Excellent video. Can you do robert nkemdiche? Man fell out of a hotel window in Atlanta just for starters lol.
Desean Jackson is near neck and neck with Percy for that era
I agree almost forgot about Jackson in those good cal teams.
They both were dope in the league
Call him what you want he still has a national championship, NFL Rookie player of the year award and a Super Bowl ring. Most people dream to have at least one of those accolades.
Great career at UF, decent showing with the Vikings as a pro. He's not Eric Metcalf (or Terry) or any player of that caliber but he was a fun highlight reel for a few years. Go Gators!
I remember back when Morgan Trent ran him down from behind in that game Tebow lost to Michigan. That was pretty awesome.
I cared about the team when I played ps2 and still do care. #bringthegatorsback
Never gona happen. Sun belt Billy is prolly fired at the end of the year and that schedule is brutal next year. Love it. Go Noles!!
@rickderrick7101 LOL, where ya'll going? Also, whether it's with Billy or not, Gators will be back. Ya'll may wanna change your conference so that if you win out you actually get credit.
You not wrong… it was nice playing with that Gator team… I’d tear everyone up with that Gator team
Todd gurley will forever be my favorite game breaker
So tragic my boy had a degenerative knee
@@timothymoore2966 yep. Could have been a legendary career
My oldest brother went to high school with him at landstown, Percy was a dawg!
Percy could have started at RB in the NFL,one of the most versatile players ever.
You wanted to know what happened to Percy. The Olympian thing you mentioned was real he was training with Tim Montgomery back here in Gainesville and was talking about an NFL return at the time. If you want a really interesting story how about another guy who was training with Montgomery after multiple NFL suspensions in an attempt to return to the NFL. Josh Gordon
Randy Moss is the most electrifying receiver to ever suit up.
I agree
Hey matt i dont know if you did a video on him but you could do a video about dorial green beckham. I remember you recapped his career in the #1 wrs video but his story is definetely interesting
Percy Harvin suffered debilitating migraines all throughout college, it didn't start in the NFL. It also partially explains the weed use.
Percy Harvin is one of the saddest stories in sports he’s was supposed to be the next Bo Jackson, but just couldn’t stay out of trouble.
Nowhere near Bo Jackson 😂
Bo knows.
Bo Jackson. Why even mention Bo
Stunning and brave comment for sure! Hopefully you get the likes and views to feed yourself!
@@randlemarsh I could give 2 shits about praise
Do a video about what happened to Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o? That story was pretty unbelievable at the time. I didn’t know whether to feel bad for him or to not believe anyone could be that gullible.
Deanthony Thomas
Great topic Matt!
Growing up I had no idea he acted like this, I just thought he was just putting his head down, and working
Find the story on Tony vanZant from st.louis, mo he was the number one runnigback in the nation in 1985. Ahead of Emmitt Smith , Thurman Thomas, Jeff George and many others. 100 td's over 6,000 yard in his highschool career. Blew his season up before he got to college..
One of my favorite college receivers ever
We need an aj mccaron update soon🔥seems to be happy where he’s at in life and I love it
He’s probably back here in VA chillin!! 757
Joe Horn. The first person to have a cell phone touchdown celebration
Percy was running as fast as a car at the beginning of the video when the suv was in the background
Being from Florida.. hated UF, loved this guy. Heard something back when he arrived at UF that he and another receiver from his HS team were trying to figure where to go. Harvin said, well Tebow is going to Florida. So that's where he went.
Wait, yall am I trippn or What!? Wasnt there a video Matt made on the new college football game? 🤔
No mention about this dude being the strongest cat on UFs roster!? He lifted with the o line was literally benched an squatted more than Tebow! #research
Heard he experienced cluster headaches too which I myself have gone through for years and they are extremely painful!! The universal nickname "suicide headaches" is correct 😢 hard to function period.
His professional career is karma for how he carried himself on and off the field. This guy used to pee on opposing teams locker room floors in hs smh
Matt , I would suggest you take a look into former 5* LB Willie Williams . I think he came out of high school in 2003 . The twists related to him pretty much define instant karma .
as a Razorback fan I remember Percy Harvin all too well !!
Great videos! maybe you could do one on Todd Gurley.
So nobody is going to talk about Josh Gordon huh 😂😂😂
The hip labrum injury is a career ender. Dude was make of glass also from too many concussions and ankle injuries.
Inflation
Inflammation
I knew what you meant it’s just funny
When I was a kid the first college football speedster I followed was Raghb "Rocket" Ismail. His brothers are Qadry "Missle" and Sulaiman "Bomb". I'd like to see Rocket and his brothers get a video by you.
A video on Stephen Garcia would be dope
We talk about the 01 Hurricanes, but let's do one specifically about Ken Dorsey.
Who highlights are you showing majority of the vid?
Another Great...That went Dwn the Drain
At least he didn't murder Tina Turner and her Golden Retriever. Roll Tide.
I used to DOMINATE with the gators! Percy Harvin, Major Wright, Tim Tebow, Chris Rainey, Joe Haden, and HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED(AH)! Greatness!!!
Completely agree that if he wasn't so good, he wouldn't have gotten the breaks he did. If he could've gotten his act together, he'd have been legendary.
contact with a ref doesnt mean he pushed the ref, it means contact
You should do a story on NJ native Tom Flacco
If you watched the 2014 Ohio State team that won the natty, Devin Smith was the definition of game breaking dude seemed to alway be open when you needed him to be on streaks.
S/0 to my set
Hope all is well, enjoy your videos if you haven’t done it maybe a what happened to Jamal Charles
The first social media was out years before he was in high school. I don't know the name of the first one i knew about but i got one in 1998 and it hook up to the tv and you could go into a bunch of different chat rooms or Instant message people you knew, there wasn't profiles or profile pictures but you could send pictures.
By 1999 or 2000 Yahoo become the new social place to hang out in chat rooms it just took a while to get on to the dial up internet.
This dude pissed me off taking in the 2007 natty and in the superbowl where Seattle whooped my broncos ass and I’m an buckeyes fan 😂😂😂
Was hella fun to watch tho
He had good nfl career. injuries and severe migraines limited his career
Do a documentary on Tavon Austin
Percy Harvin was that dude, so he was a warrior. He was a once in a generation type of player who was very good at what he does. His career didn’t end well in the NFL.
They say the drug test at the combine is basically an IQ test since you know months in advance
It would be interesting to see what happend to john franklin III. the cat from FSU that went to emcc and then to Auburn and he went somewhere from there.
Was a good pro that actually never lived up to his potential
LOL yes he did. Migraines is why he walked away. SEAHAWKS have a ring because of him. Brett Farve said he was the most dynamic player he has ever seen
@edfthanos6757 Exactly, these people don't know anything they just hear work of mouth
My Percy hurts 😂😂😂😂
I remembered him cuz of that hit he took in the Super Bowl.
Noel Devine had the best high school tape ever on the internet
Harvin was the kind of dude who most of us looked at as exactly what not to do when you find real success. Dude really could've been so much more, but some people got that Burfict mentality also Reddit aka r/nfl we really try to post factual posts and not just a bunch of BS so I can understand why you'd use that post
Those live highlights aren’t even of Percy Harvin the still photos are of him in high school
You should research Kieth McCants. In a decade where Alabama had some of their best all time linebackers he was the biggest and fastest of them all.
I thought he was more of a can't miss NFL player than any player I ever watched.
After college his life was very sad mostly because of injuries and drugs, and those were probably cause and effect.
Percy lives in the Gainesville Florida area and he’s doing fine
Tavon Austin and Percy was my favorite player of all time
Yo Matt! What ever happened to Josh Gordon?? That’s a tragic story
Sad!! That kid had demons!!! Hope he is doing better!
Can we get a Stetson Bennet video ??? Or RG3??
In Buffalo he played really well them first 4.games I remember and then boom basically never heard from again
Can you please talk about the 2007 college football season?
The best Gator I ever seen lol
You should ask Zach Smith about harvin crazy ass stories
Percy Harvin had anxiety attacks and was self medicating, and that's why he failed the drug test.
You gotta do Chris Johnson aka cj2k im a diehard titans fan
Before this video starts I remember Percy having “bad migraines” idk if this video will mention it or if that was a lie
