Vernon Hargreaves III speaks

[RaleighNoleToo]

In an article from the combine in today's News and Observer, it had the following:
... The knock on him is his size, 5 foot 11 and 192 pounds at the combine.
But Heargraves said his matchups against wideouts like Odell Beckham Jr., Amari Cooper, and Kelvin Benjamin prepared him well for the NFL.
"At the end of the day it's all about competing. Height, size, it doesn't matter," Hargreaves said. "When you go against a guy like Kelvin Benjamin, there's not much technique you can use. You've got to compete."

My reaction to the article is that I would not be bringing up one of my lowest moments as an example of competing during a job interview.

2013 v UF: Kelvin Benjamin 9 Rec 212 Yds 3 TD.

And KB had like 4 drops or he could have had 847 yards and 7 TD's

Exaggerate much? More like 588 yards and 6 TDs.

To be fair. KB mostly went up against Purifoy, not Hargreaves.

My niece married a diehard Alabama fan. When I saw him last Thanksgiving, he was trying to say Hargreaves was a much better DB than Jalen Ramsey. I told him Jalen would be taken higher in the draft, but he didn't believe me, being a total SEC homer. Of course, the Thanksgiving before that, he was insisting Marcus Mariotta was a better pro prospect than Jameis. I love needling that guy.

KB was on their other DB's most of the day and most of his success. VH3 was on him for one TD.

Yep. The last TD was against Hargreaves and that play was almost indefensible where the ball was thrown and with the adjustment KB made. The long completion, the second TD and the first TD with all the broken tackles were against other guys.

Still, I think I'm leaning DE for the Bucs pick. Guess it kinda depends on who is available but seeing the way Von Miller dominated the Super Bowl is hard not wanting to try and duplicate that.

He got worked by all of those Receivers

I'm not surprised he mentioned KB. He spent so much time staring at the back of his jersey.

KB also had a slow start because the refs were letting them play. Once he realized that was the situation, the defense didn't look so hot.
