Harvin’s Medical Issues Under Microscope

University of Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin is drawing heavy scrutiny for his multiple character issues, including testing positive for marijuana at the NFL Scouting Combine along with a history of clashing with teammates and coaches. What has gone largely ignored are Harvin’s durability and medical concerns that may concern NFL decision-makers as much as his behavior, according to Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News. Per the report, Harvin needs to have a surgery to repair a “hole” in his foot bone and he’s already gone under the knife several times in the past to address ankle and foot problems. “Oh, yeah, he’s got a bad attitude and tested positive for marijuana at the scouting combine, my sources confirmed,” Cimini writes. “Other than that, he’s a Boy Scout.” We’ve heard separately from a league source that Harvin’s medical background is raising eyebrows around the league. Despite his character red flags and medical issues, though, Harvin has a ton of talent and someone will be willing to take the risk.
