The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ first-round draft pick from 2016 was disliked by some because he was a Florida Gator. Others disliked the pick because they disliked the player fit considering he was the eleventh overall selection.
Some even predicted Hargreaves was better suited as an NFL slot defender, and it would seem they’ve been proven right.
Heading into Tampa’s contest in Buffalo last season, I wasn’t alone in asking for the young corner to be shifted inside in hopes of sparking his performance level to better heights.
The Bucs did just that, and it worked. He played his best total game of the year.
