Vernon Hargreaves stands at 5’11, and weighs in right around 192 pounds. Hargreaves accelerates in press coverage due to his willingness to engage receivers at the line of scrimmage. Any time that he is asked to
He is a high character, elite talent that would fit right in with the recent trend that Ryan Pace has displayed amongst his 2015 draft choices.
key in on an opposing teams player he succeeds by using proper technique and his lengthy frame. Being extremely competitive, Hargreaves has gone on record stating his desire to be a shut down corner in the NFL, he shies away from no one. There is a slight cockiness about Hargreaves play that screams vintage ’94 Deion Sanders. Will he ever get to that level? Only time will tell, but Hargreaves will be on the Bears radar come draft time. Hargreaves displays a natural talent for being able to recognize receiver routes. Displaying enough talent as a ball hawk, you’d suspect him of being too finesse to stick his head into a pile, but that is just not the case. Utilizing his elite acceleration, natural ability as a ball hawk, and unwillingness to stand down to competition, Hargreaves projects as a top corner at the next level. My pro comparison is another Florida Gator, as Hargreaves shows much of the same traits as he displayed coming out of college, as well as similar height and weight – Joe Haden. So, why Hargreaves you ask? He is a high character, elite talent that would fit right in with the recent trend that Ryan Pace has displayed amongst his 2015 draft choices. Having a team leader that can not only lead in the locker room, but also on Sundays goes a long way when building a championship contender. Make sure to check out Hargreaves, and the rest of the Florida Gators’ football team (7-1) on Saturday as they take on Jay Cutler’s alma mater – Vanderbilt University (3-5).
