In his first year since putting on NFL jersey, the Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Percy Harvin made it to his first Pro Bowl game, and he himself becomes the Vikings’ second kick returner to make the Pro Bowl NFC team, joining Koren Robinson, who played as kick returner in NFC in 2005.
Harvin was added to the NFC roster on Monday by the NFL, and his joining made the Vikings stretch a league-high total of Pro Bowl players to nine. Harvin was added later than other Pro Bowl players because the position was taken previously by the Philadelphia Eagles DeSean Jackson, who occupied bother wide receiver and kick returner in the NFC team before the league made a decision on who could fill the spot.
Jackson received the least voting points for the kick returner spot, and the league used his team at the spot and planned to find a best player to fill the void. The player turned out to be Harvin, who returned two kickoffs for touchdowns and finished fourth in the NFL with an average of 27.5 yards per return as well as set Minnesota’s single-season franchise record for all-purpose yardage.
