Percy Harvin Discusses Anxiety, Finding Place in Gainesville in SI Interview

Percy Harvin opened up in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated's Michael McKnight and explained that he was dealing with anxiety throughout his eight-year NFL career.

"The best way I can describe it is that I felt 'out of body,'" Harvin said. "My speech was slurring. I didn’t wanna eat. I was gasping for air. You’re so worked up that it’s hard to spit words out."

According to McKnight, anxiety "caused Harvin to play most of his 79 NFL games on little or no sleep."
