48. Pass coverage really hurt the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in December of this season. Opponents often found it too easy to throw against them, which lent a big hand to them losing four-straight games and likely costing Lovie Smith his job. Even if the scheme changes somewhat, the fact is they need cornerbacks who can cover better. <p>There is no doubt Vernon Hargreaves III has the look of a baller. He’s aggressive both in his tackling and his coverage responsibilities. Physical and competitive, he is constantly looking for a chance to make the game-changing play. Coaches will want to get him to play with better discipline, but aside from that he has the tools to become that #1 guy Tampa will line across from the best opposing receivers.</p>. CB. Florida. Vernon Hargreaves III. 9. player
