Being a true wideout is Percy Harvin’s quest

"“Gadget player”It’s a term that was not used to describe Percy Harvin when he first entered the league as a first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings. He was primarily a wide receiver and kick returner in his first three NFL seasons. When injuries and a battle with migraines sidelined him for almost half of the 2012 season, Harvin’s role was reduced. Soon after, he was traded to a Super Bowl contending team in Seattle where he was utilized as a jack-of-all-trades weapon. The gadget player label soon followed."

Marquise Goodwin Falls Short of Worlds
