The Kansas City Chiefs traded up to pick No. 56 on Friday night to draft speedy wide receiver Mecole Hardman out of Georgia. It was the first of their two second-round picks. The 5-10 and 187-pound wideout ran a 4.33 40-yard dash at the combine, and has the opportunity to see some playing time for the Chiefs as both a WR and return specialist.
In the tweet below you will find the moment that Hardman was drafted by Kansas City. It’s an awesome video capturing the raw emotion, in a heartwarming moment with Hardman taking in the draft among his friends and family. Check it out:
In Kansas City, Hardman will get a chance to play with league MVP Patrick Mahomes and for a team that could be Super Bowl bound in 2019.
Welcome to the Chiefs, and congratulations!
