Georgia football is constantly showing out in the NFL.
Just this past weekend, former Georgia receiver and Kansas City speedster Mecole Hardman made this wild touchdown grab in a preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Hardman was drafted by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2019 draft and has steadily improved each season, finishing third on the team in receiving in 2020 with 41 receptions for 560 yards and four touchdowns.
The Bowman, Georgia, native will get more playing time this year after the departure of Chiefs receiver Sammy Watkins in free agency.
Hardman is remembered by Georgia fans as one of the fastest Bulldogs in recent memory. The 2018 first-team All-American kick returner proved his speed at the 2019 combine, where he ran a 4.33 40-yard dash.
Here’s a little taste of that speed that DawgNation came to love.
