There won’t be any anxious moments waiting by the phone in the corner of the living room for former Gators CB Vernon Hargreaves.
Hargreaves announced he will attend next month’s NFL Draft in person during a media session at Florida’s pro day on Tuesday.

As you can see, the likely first-round pick was the most popular man in Gainesville during the workout:

Hargreaves drew some attention for his Tampa themed cleats at the event:

And he showed that he’s not lacking in the self-confidence department either:

While he may feel that way, NFL scouts may lean towards former Florida State star Jalen Ramsey as the top defensive back in the draft.
No matter, it is likely that Hargreaves will hear his name called very early on the last Thursday in April. We hope, for his sake, that there is not a long, drawn out wait to hear NFL commissioner Roger Goodell call his name.
