How Javon Hargrave’s Surprising Packers Move is Shaking Up the HBCU Legacy Forever
As his career progressed, Hargrave developed into one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. His breakout moment came during his junior season, when he matched an NCAA FCS single-game record with six sacks in a win over the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats football. By the time his collegiate career came to a close, he had compiled 210 total tackles (143 solo), 63 tackles for loss, 37 sacks, eight forced fumbles, and eight fumble recoveries.
His dominance at the HBCU level ultimately led to his selection in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft, with the 89th overall pick. Since entering the league, Hargrave has built a strong professional résumé with stints on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, and now the Green Bay Packers. His impact has translated to team success as well, earning Super Bowl appearances with Philadelphia in 2023 and San Francisco in 2024.
