GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Percy Harvin is planning an NFL comeback nearly four years after his last game. The former Florida star and first-round draft pick by Minnesota in 2009 expects to get invited to a training camp this season and show his 32-year-old body still has what it takes to be an elite playmaker. “It's destiny,” Harvin told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “There's always been something to stop me coming back.
But things started slowly leading back to football and the desire started coming back." The biggest step came after hip surgery last August in Gainesville.
Doctors found a blockage he said may have been there since high school. “Just had a lot of things that needed to be fixed,” said Harvin, who turns 32 next month.
