Percy Harvin Is Fast, but He Can't Outrun the Common Cold

Percy HarvinFor the second time this offseason, Percy Harvin has had to skip out on a required function because he's been too sick to participate.

The first time, Harvin landed in an Atlanta hospital with severe dehydration that forced him to miss a Vikings minicamp. This time he was sent home from the NFL's rookie symposium. In both cases, Harvin did everything right -- he notified everyone who needed to be told and was excused --- but it's a little worrisome that the Vikings' first-round pick seems to be felled by the sniffles multiple times during the spring and summer. The ex-Florida Gator hasn't even started to see what a flu season during a Minnesota winter can be like.

Harvin apparently is the only NFL draftee who's not at the rookie camp, although he did report before being sent home.
