Vernon Hargreaves, Brent Grimes anchor Bucs secondary

TAMPA — On the surface, they couldn't be more different. One's a 33-year-old, 10-year veteran who cut his teeth in Europe after going undrafted. The other's a 22-year-old, second-year pro picked 11th overall.

But cornerbacks Brent Grimes and Vernon Hargreaves have excelled in Bucs minicamp.

Hargreaves picked off quarterback Jameis Winston in the red zone Tuesday, and Grimes nearly made a leaping interception during a drill Wednesday. Lining up against formidable foes in wide receivers Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson, the cornerback tandem has made play after play at One Buc Place.
