And if there weren’t enough comparisons between Bush and Harvin already, they each watched their high profile quarterbacks accept the Heisman trophy while still having time to win it themselves.
Bush eventually won the award a year later, and you can bet Tim Tebow’s Heisman vote won’t be the only one cast for Percy this winter—assuming he remains healthy.
The main drawback to Harvin’s game has been his penchant for nagging injuries. His impressive 2007 stats don’t even include two blowout Gator victories while he was in the hospital with severe migraine headaches.
Seemingly always banged up, Harvin gave Gator fans heart trouble this spring when he pulled out of practice and had an operation to correct a persistent heel injury.
Fortunately for Orange and Blue faithful, his recovery is ahead of schedule and he should be fine when fall practice begins.
Though if he’s going to become a household name and an early NFL draft pick while engulfed in Tim Tebow’s shadow, he’s going to need 2008 to be his healthiest year.
Tebow’s supernatural legend is only going to grow each week. If it rains hard enough in the Swamp, he may even be forced to walk on water.
But when it comes down to stopping the Gators’ most dynamic player, it will be Percy Harvin’s name on every defensive coordinator’s blackboard in the South.
