Hargrave signed a two-year, $30 million deal with the Vikings on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Scouting Report
Elite first-step quickness and natural strength are his calling cards as a pass-rushing interior lineman. Few are more explosive off the snap. Has developed a repertoire of moves to win quick penetration and close inside lanes. Consistently generates high tackle counts, pocket pressure and sack opportunities with a squat, powerful frame and momentous leg drive. Lacks a bit of stamina for every down duty in the NFL and is also a bit too scheme-dependent.
Long Range Potential: Productive inside pass rusher.
