ESPN Recruiting calls Hargeaves the best at his position and the fourth-best player overall. Chris Hays of the Orlando Sentinel gushed over his skills in a recent column.

“He was fast. He had tremendous hands, and his hips were on a Shakira swivel, but he never gave them away, making it tough for quarterbacks to anticipate when a receiver could gain an advantage,” he wrote. “That's because rarely does a receiver ever gain an advantage on Hargreaves.”
