re: NFL.com 15 Best CFB Defensive Players and Top Impact Freshmen

Vernon Hargreaves is obviously a very good defender, and he put up very strong numbers in only 12 total games last year (and as a freshman), and barring injury he is going to be an all-american and a top draft choice, but I don't know if he's the 2nd best defensive player in the entire country.

It'll be interesting to see if the new coaches at UF can take better advantage of VH3 next year. I still can't believe they tried to zone Alabama most of that game. The only player on the team that even had a remote chance of slowing down Cooper was Hargreaves, and yet he was left to run completely free most of that game.

So ridiculous.
