Vernon Hargreaves is a "coach's kid," which may explain why he was such a natural leader at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Play60 event at One Buccaneer Place on Tuesday. Or maybe it's the second half of that descriptor that allowed him to engage so effortlessly with the dozens of youngsters taking part in Tuesday's event: In the right setting, Hargreaves is still just a kid at heart.
Never was that more obvious than at the event's conclusion, when he suddenly challenged all the participants to a race. He had many enthusiastic takers.
"Al I ever wanted to do when I was a kid was race somebody," said Hargreaves, the Buccaneers' rookie cornerback.
