GAINESVILLE -DB Vernon Hargreaves III had an easy opportunity to make an impression on his hometown team Tuesday during the Florida Gators' pro day.

Bucs defensive back coach Jon Hoke led the secondary drills for Hargreaves, a former UF and Wharton High star who is expected to be a top-10 pick in next month's NFL draft.

Hargreaves is a popular Bucs target on mock drafts with the No. 9 overall pick, and at least four Bucs representatives were at UF's new indoor practice facility to watch Hargreaves and his teammates work out.
