 Measurables:
Combine height: 5-11
Combine weight: 192 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.41 seconds
Stats:
Though his numbers were tempered by an injury late in the year, Harvin still caught 40 balls for 644 yards and seven touchdowns, with 70 carries for 668 yards (9.5 yards per carry) and 10 touchdowns on the ground. For his three-year Gator career, Harvin had 133 catches for 1,929 yards and 13 touchdowns as a receiver and 194 carries for 1,905 yards (9.8 yards per carry) and 19 touchdowns as a runner.
Skill Set:
With all due respect to Jeremy Maclin, Harvin is the most dynamic playmaker in this year’s draft. While his 4.41 40 at the Combine was slower than expected, few doubt Harvin’s wheels. And it’s not just straight-line speed; Harvin has burst off the line, gets to top speed quickly, explodes out of cuts and is a killer in the open field. Unlike some other track stars, however, Harvin also has excellent hands and isn’t afraid to go into traffic to make the tough catch. As his stats indicate, Harvin is not just a threat in the passing game but also as a rusher, and though he wasn’t used as a return man at Florida the NFL plans to take full advantage of his vision, balance, and elusiveness in that capacity as well.
