Percy grew up in Virginia along with his older sister, helping their mother Linda run a daycare for children; she used to run track at Princess Anne High School in Virginia Beach and Eastern Michigan University. Harvin’s athletic gift didn’t go unnoticed, as at the age 13 he played for coach Bruce Pearl and the Virginia Beach Mustangs Pop Warner football team, and led the team to a state championship. He was noted for his speed and his intelligent game play in the field, which led his high school team to achieve an excellent record in the game. Harvin then received an Athletic Scholarship to the University Of Florida, where he played from 2006 to 2008. During the freshman season, he was rewarded as SEC college freshman of the year.
Following the 2009 NFL Draft, Harvin signed a five year contract worth up to $14.5 million with the Minnesota Vikings, and went on to have a great first year in which he eventually succeeded being named as AP NFL Rookie of the year, and PFWA offensive rookie of the year. In 2013, he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks where he signed a new six year contract worth $25.5 million, and was in their Super Bowl winning team that season.
