Draft prospect and cornerback Vernon Hargreaves is a player that analysts have all over the board in the first-round. Despite a great showing in college, his 5-foot-10 height is something that many can see holding him back in the NFL.

Well after running the 40-yard dash at the NFL’s Scouting Combine, we can scratch speed from concern. The NFL Network covering the event used their Simulcam view to match Hargreaves up against elite corners in the NFL like the Carolina Panthers’ own Josh Norman as well as the Seattle Seahawks’ Richard Sherman. Running a 4.41 second 40, Hargreaves blew by the competition by a wide margin, and especially Norman’s 4.66 clocked time.

Hargreaves will still have a long ways to go to prove that he is on the same level as the other players he was paired against, but it looks good for him. With a need at cornerback this offseason, if Hargreaves does fall to the Panthers at their 30th overall selection, it might be tempting for the team to select him in the first-round.
