Vernon Hargreaves, 98 Overall
Was there any doubt as to who the highest rated payer would be for the Florida Gators in a made-up NCAA Football 16?
Vernon Hargreaves is not only the Gators highest rated player, but he would be the highest rated corner in college football if EA Sports decided to continue their acclaimed video game series.
One of the best recruits to ever suit up for Florida, Hargreaves is set to leave a lasting legacy at UF in what should be his final season at college.

A starter since his freshman year, Hargreaves has 88 tackles, 24 pass breakups and six interceptions in 22 career starts.
Hargreaves deserves a 98 overall rating because of his man coverage skills, his awareness and his agility.
For me, Hargreaves would notch a 97 in man coverage, a 99 in awareness and a 98 in agility, due to his ability to match the opposing receiver’s route running.
The only knocks, if any, that I could place on Hargreaves, would be his tackling skills and his overall speed. However, what Hargreaves lacks in pure speed, he makes up with recovery speed and quickness.
It’s a shame that NCAA Football isn’t around anymore, it would have been fun picking off SEC QBs and taking them back for touchdowns with Hargreaves.
