    Percy was a lot more than just speed. He was jacked and super physical.

    Yes, people need to stop dropping Percy's name until somebody at least looks somewhat like him on a college field.

    He was hard to tackle ( like a rb) and fast and squiggly at the same time:

    He was so impeccable about running east-west, make one cut at the perfect time and the perfect angle and it was off to the races!

    Watching Percy was pure football delight. It looked like he was just in a ‘glide’ gear: until he hit the jets and then he’d just run off and leave folk.

    Where else will he see touches? Seems like a guy you get open and drop the ball in his hands.

    Shame PH did not have a longer NFL career.

    Percy was an athlete and playmaker but Wes Chandler was all that and had the greatest hands of any UF player. If he had played for SOS or Meyer, he would own every season and career record for a WR at UF.

    Agreen with you but just want to point out that Percy was a man among boys on a Pro field also!
