Few receivers in the NFL possess the talent that Percy Harvin has. Unfortunately Harvin has had a myriad of problems since joining the NFL. Harvin was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings with the 22nd overall pick in the 2009 draft. His tenure with the Vikings was dotted with illness but he made the Pro-Bowl in his rookie season and was named the AP offensive rookie of the year.

Off to a fast NFL start, the Vikings in 2011 traded the talented receiver to the Seattle Seahawks for a first and 7th round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft and a 3rd rounder in 2014. He would make his first appearance in November 2013 after recovering from hip surgery. His time in Seattle was marred with rumors of locker room conflicts and talk of him taking himself out of games and refusals to return to the field.

In October of 2014 he was traded to the New York Jets for a conditional 2015 draft pick. The Jets traded for Brandon Marshall this off-season and Harvin was signed by the Buffalo Bills to a one year $6 million deal.
