Percy Harvin and the Florida Gators' Receiving Squad—Superman's Sidekicks

We all know about Superman, a.k.a. Tim Tebow. He runs, he throws, he bulldozes, and rumor has it that he orders Whoppers at McDonald's—and gets them.

The weight of the Gator football world is upon his Heisman-winning shoulders, and I, along with hordes of Florida football fans, believe he can handle it. Even Tebow, however, cannot carry out an offense alone.

Well, maybe he can, but the fact of the matter is he doesn't have to.

Here's a look at the key receivers that will be helping Superman put up some major yards through the air this season:

Percy Harvin

Harvin, a junior, is coming into what is in all likelihood his last season in a Gator uniform. Last year he was amazing, but look for him to be even better this year.

He is a truly dynamic player, and will probably be lining up at tailback as well as receiver this year. Last year, Harvin put up a total of 1,622 yards on 142 touches—that’s 11.4 yards per touch. If he can stay healthy, he should be all over the place this year.

Can you say Heisman?

Cornelius Ingram

Ingram proved himself to be a great athlete from the beginning of his time at UF. After switching from quarterback to tight end, he’s been switching back and forth from TE to wide receiver.

Dan Mullen plans on using Ingram as more of a pure tight end this season, but I still had to put him on the list. He pulled in seven touchdown passes last year, tying with departed senior Andre Caldwell as the most for anyone on the Gator squad.

Ingram, who almost went pro this year, should make a huge impact as a fifth year senior.

Louis Murphy

Murphy shares the two locked wide receiver positions with Percy Harvin. Murphy had a breakout junior year, and he should be putting up bigger numbers in his senior season. While he played more of a supporting role last year, he should emerge as a leader with Caldwell gone. Expect him to be a reliable go-to man.

Riley Cooper, Carl Moore, and Deonte Thompson

These are the three guys that will be fighting it out for the third wide receiver position, although Cooper, who missed some of spring due to baseball, is the probable starter.

Moore is a junior college transfer who had 78 receptions for 1,063 yards last year at Sierra Community College. Rivals.com ranked him as the second best junior college player, and he should be a good physical receiver for UF.

Both Moore and Thompson (smaller redshirt freshmen) should be solid backups. We’ll probably see both of them in the rotation right from the get-go. Cooper has just been oozing potential, and his junior year should be the time when he really steps up.
