Percy Harvin is getting another chance to stick it to Rick Spielman and the Vikings.

Harvin will square off against his old team this weekend as a member of the Jets, and at least one Vikings defender is expecting Percy to bring it.
Greenway on facing his former teammate: "We're expecting (Percy Harvin's) best...he can be an angry little dude. Love him."

The majority of Harvin’s (ever-growing number of) ex-teammates seem to feel the same way about him that Greenway does. They say they love him while acknowledging that he has some rough edges to his personality.
Those rough edges have now rubbed enough people the wrong way to get Harvin shipped out of two cities in just six years in the league.
But Harvin’s talent is also undeniable. Which is why there are still teams willing to trade for him in spite of his well-known quirks.
Harvin and all his anger and talent will be ready to line up against the Minnesota defense this weekend. Outside of a few familiar faces like Greenway, Harvin won’t hardly recognize that Minnesota D.
Some of the personnel may still be the same, but the scheme and the production are on another level from 2012, Harvin’s last year with the Vikings.
I’m sure Harvin will be amped up to face the Vikings, just as he was last year as a member of the Seahawks.
Can Geno Smith get Harvin the ball, though? Will the Jets even let Geno Smith throw the ball?
I’m sure the Jets are smart enough to know what they have going for them this week. A motivated Harvin is a potentially devastating Harvin. The Jets will feed him the ball and the Vikings will have to make sure they bring him down.
There won’t be any surprises with Harvin, that’s for sure.
