Percy Harvin Sounds Off On Time With Seahawks, Not Being Accepted

Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin has been a model teammate for the limited time he's spent with the Buffalo Bills so far, but he's still not quite settled about the way things ended in Seattle before he was traded to the New York Jets last season.

Speaking on ESPN's First Take, Harvin sounded off on what he felt went wrong during his stay in the Pacific Northwest, including a claim that the other receivers on the roster saw him as a "threat" --

“My teammates accept me a little more (in Buffalo). What I mean by that I always felt when I went to Seattle a lot of the receivers took me as a threat rather than accepting me as a teammate. I always told those guys, I pulled them to the side several times after seeing the comments they were making to the media, ‘Hey, guys, I’m here to ball with you, to take us to the next level.’ A lot of guys were looking at they were already established and they didn’t need any help. I just took it as I never was kind of accepted in the receiver group by all the members …

“Seattle at times I kind of felt as I had to come in and be the guy to sit in the back of the room, not say too much, kind of walk on egg shells. That in itself drew frustrations on top of not being accepted in my receiver group, so just kind of never was able to get comfortable in Seattle.”
