Coming out of high school in 2013, Vernon Hargreaves III was considered one of the nation’s top cornerbacks. Heading into the 2016 NFL draft, Hargreaves again is considered one of the nation’s top cornerbacks and a sure-fire first-round pick.

Gridironnow’s Amanda Borges breaks down the pros and cons of Hargreaves as an NFL cornerback.

Hargreaves, whose dad, Vernon, is linebacker coach at Arkansas, was an immediate starter at Florida and was a first-team All-SEC pick in each of his three seasons with the Gators.

Hargreaves (5 feet 11, 192 pounds) lacks top-end speed, but he is quick and has high-level football instincts.
