Harvin sent home ill

"Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin, the 22nd pick in the first round of the April draft, was sent home from the NFL rookie symposium in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., after becoming ill, according to the league's website.

The former University of Florida standout reported for the start of the four-day event Sunday afternoon, but the medical staff suggested he return home after he told them he wasn't feeling well. Harvin and his family live in the Gainesville area.

Organizers of the symposium officially excused Harvin; all 256 draft picks were in attendance on Sunday, according to symposium officials. The website, Pro Football Talk, reported that Harvin might return to the symposium today if he feels better. The symposium features a variety of seminars designed to help rookies adapt to life in the NFL.

Harvin's agent, Joel Segal, did not return a call or text message seeking a comment Monday night."
