Houston Texans cornerback Vernon Hargreaves displayed his athletic ability Wednesday morning during training camp practice at Houston Methodist Training Center.
The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2016 first-round pick recorded a one-handed interception with his right hand near the front of the end zone. The effortlessness of Hargreaves’ pick is what continues to make him an intriguing defensive back for the Texans since 2019.
Hargreaves started all 16 games for the Texans last season, and provided Houston with 72 combined tackles, a tackle for loss, seven pass breakups, and an interception.
The 26-year-old is part of rare unit of continuity on the Texans’ roster, the secondary.
“I feel like we have the most continuity on the team so far with Eric Murray coming back, AJ (Moore Jr.) , Keion (Crossen), (Bradley) Roby, Vern (Vernon Hargreaves III), we have the most guys in the room as far as in one unit coming back to the same team,” safety Justin Reid told reporters on Aug. 2. “So that chemistry plays a role. Me and E-Murray (Eric Murray) and Lonnie (Johnson), too, as well, we all know how to operate as well, and we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses we put each other in great positions to play.”
One strength that was on display is Hargreaves’ penchant for picks.
