Vikings receiver and kick returner Percy Harvin has been named the Associated Press offensive rookie of the year.  Per the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Harvin picked up 41 of 54 votes.  I am one the ultimat GATOR PRIDE fans and Percy Harvin was my focus all last season. I loved to watching Percy and Tim Tebow on the field together it was electrifying!!

“I call him Little Phenom,” said teammate Adrian Peterson, the 2007 Offensive Rookie of the Year. “He’s got the heart of a lion when he’s out there playing.” He’s also got the confidence of his entire team, including a 40-year-old quarterback who demands excellence. 

“I think Percy’s on his way to a league of his own,” Brett Favre said. “He’s quick like Wes Welker. He’s got a long ways to go to be in the same category with Wes, but at the rate he’s going he’s a dominant force in a lot of ways.”

Ladies Percy is VERY easy on the eyes…………..*wink-wink*

The 22nd overall draft pick out of Florida, Harvin had 60 receptions for 790 yards and six touchdowns; rushed 15 times for 135 yards; and returned 42 kickoffs for 1,156 yards (27.5 average) and two touchdowns, one covering 101 yards.  He tied with the Colts’ Austin Collie for most catches by a rookie and set Minnesota’s single-season franchise record for all-purpose yardage with 2,081.  

Precisely the reason Harvin dominated the voting and was added to the Pro Bowl this week. Six votes went to Ravens tackle Michael Oher.  The other three votes were shared by Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin, Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno, and Steelers receiver Mike Wallace.
