    Harvin asks for shot at playing CB

    Interesting.

    #Bills HC Rex Ryan: Percy Harvin came to us about practicing at corner to help out. We're going to see what he can do, not over coach him

    He knows the way to this team's heart is to be a highly-drafted cornerback.

      He actually might have a better shot making this team as a corner than as a wr/gadget player. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. A lot of players switched between WR and CB in college, but I don't think I've ever seen a pro do it.

      If anything I think it shows that harvin is willing to do whatever it takes to make the roster, which cant be a bad thing

        Our DB roster is FAR deeper then our WR roster. At wideout he has a legit possibility at jumping Woods and being the #2, but he'll likely settle in as the slot guy.

          Well we can agree to disagree, at either rate both have plenty of depth.

            George Wilson switched from WR to Safety back in the 2000's.

                I think it was Julian Edleman. Didn't even think about him

                  Devin Hester did it, too.

                    It was Troy Brown, and it was over a decade ago.

                      Buster McClurskey....1946...And he kicked the ball and was the driver of the team bus. Seriously, let's put him at QB where he has a legitimate shot.

                      If this story is true I might have put more faith in Ryan than I should have.

                        He's gonna be a 6M dollar 5th corner!!!!!! Brilliance.

                        And there is no way Harvin isn't making the team at WR. They wouldn't have given him a 3M signing bonus to just cut him.

                            curious

                            theres no danger of him not making the team of course. and it appears the team has one of the deepest cb depth charts theyve ever had. so only via injury would percy ever be needed in that role and it would have to be a pretty desperate situation to take him off offense

                            i can see them granting his request by giving him a workout, maybe even a few token reps in an early practice. but frankly it would more to appease him and keep his attitude up more than a legit consideration i would thing. not enough return at this point to invest too many precious practice reps. i doubt anything comes of it

                              Harvin probably played some flag football this offseason and felt like he could lock down his side of the field while the QB simply ran anyways.
