The former Florida receiver player for four NFL teams during the first part of his NFL career. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings as a first-rounder in 2009, and he later won a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks.
Harvin played for the New York Jets in 2014 before signing with the Bills one year later. The often-injured Harvin was placed on injured reserve in November, ending his season and — for a while, at least — his career.
His explosive playmaking ability in college carried over to the NFL, where he 351 passes for 4,020 yards and 22 touchdowns while also serving as a kick returner.
