Chiefs reporter BJ Kissel added some excitement to Kansas City fans’ lives during the team’s dead period with a preview of what is to come between star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Georgia’s Mecole Hardman.
During OTAs, Mahomes gave Hardman a bit of a hard time on Twitter about the rookie’s tendency of not finishing his long routes. This video here, though not being guarded by anyone, gives a sneak peek into what the two have been working on.
Hardman, the 56th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, will be the Chiefs slot receiver and return man. The Chiefs traded up to secure the services of the former Elbert County High (Georgia) playmaker.
Georgia’s second-leading receiver, with 34 catches for 532 yards and seven touchdowns last season, Hardman also was an electrifying returner, averaging at 20.1 yards per return.
With the Chiefs’ starting wide receiver Tyreek Hill possibly facing serious off the field issues, the Chiefs were not only needing an insurance policy at the position, but hopefully will have both of the speedy playmakers available come this fall.
