Urban Meyer on new Colts WR Parris Campbell: 'He's a 'Percy Harvin talent' who can do it all

Colts GM and coach give their thoughts on the 2019 Draft class Indianapolis Star

Former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer said Monday the Indianapolis Colts got a brilliant player in draft pick Parris Campbell, calling him a "Percy Harvin-type talent" who, when he has the ball in his hand, "is electric."

Meyer coached both wide receivers — Harvin at Florida and Campbell at Ohio State — before retiring in January after the Buckeyes finished a 13-1 season.

Harvin, who was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft went on to play for Seattle, New York and Buffalo, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2009 and a Super Bowl with the Seahawks in 2013 over Denver.
