Replacement
Hargrave flashed penetration and stout anchoring against double teams, but getting repeatedly reached and washed out of running lanes capped his day at a replacement-level 65.8.
Run defense6622Pass rush6211
The full breakdown
Hargrave's 65.8 overall grade reflects volatile run defense (66 grade) mixed with quiet pass rushing (62 grade). He showed his ceiling by batting down a quick pass (Q2 11:58) and shooting into the backfield to blow up an inside zone run (Q3 07:13). However, these highs were offset by repeated issues fitting his gaps on zone and perimeter looks, getting reached on Bijan Robinson's 55-yard run (Q1 03:06) and completely washed inside on a 7-yard touchdown (Q3 03:41).
Strengths
