Percy Harvin Contemplating Retirement Over Hip Injury

Percy Harvin, the dynamic receiver/rusher who starred at Florida and won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks, is said to be contemplating retirement due to a lingering hip injury.

Harvin, 27, didn’t make the trip to London with the Buffalo Bills this week, and has played sparingly with the team this year. In fact, he’s been so injury prone, Harvin hasn’t played 16 games in a season since 2011 in Minnesota.

Talented but complicated, fast on his feet and with his temper, Harvin has played for three teams in the last three years after fizzing out in Minnesota. In Seattle he won a Super Bowl but beat up two teammates; in New York he appeared to be back on the right track, but Rex Ryan got fired and the new regime dumped him.

Harvin was a 1st round pick in 2009 out of Florida, where he won two National Championships.

[UPDATE: Once the news hit, it didn’t take long for Harvin’s agent to get in touch with ESPN’s Adam Schefter.]

Percy Harvin increasingly frustrated w/ hip + knee injuries expected to sideline him indefinitely, per sources. Not considering retirement.
