Percy Harvin is excited for a fresh start with the New York Jets after being traded by the Seattle Seahawks in controversial fashion.

"Whatever they say happened in the Seahawks' locker room, it's all in the past," Harvin said.

Harvin will have a clean slate with the Jets, Rex Ryan said.

"I really put it all behind me once I got here," Harvin said. "What people are saying right now, it doesn't mean much to me. My teammates have embraced me, my brothers here, so I'm looking more forward. I'm looking forward to my time here as a New York Jet."

Harvin has primarily been used in the slot or as a gadget receiver, but he said he would like to do more and he believes he has the speed and route-running ability to be an outside receiver.

"I'm looking to take my game to the next level," Harvin said.
