<p>Few can argue he’s perhaps the most complete corner in the draft. He’s fast and aware in coverage, showing good hands and vision to find the football and take it away. Perhaps his greater strength though is his tackling. Hargreaves flies to the football and gets ball carriers on the ground with efficient regularity. His 5’10” size won’t matter as much in their style of defense and he might bring an edge to their perimeter that they have had since Ronde Barber retired.</p>. CB. Florida.
