Mecole Hardman’s addition to the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad was not met with much fanfare, but one superstar wide receiver believes he will be a difference-maker for Josh Allen.
Tyreek Hill took to social media on Tuesday and predicted that Hardman
“Happy for my bro,” Hill wrote. “He gone be a difference maker for Josh Allen. Watch.”
Hill knows Hardman’s game well from their time together on the Kansas City Chiefs from 2019 to 2021. As a rookie, Hardman averaged 20.7 yards per catch. He was a big play threat for Kansas City, thanks to his 4.33 40-yard dash speed.
Hardman’s yard per catch average dipped in the next few seasons in Kansas City as he took on a bigger role in the offense. His best season in Kansas City came in 2021 when he hauled in 59 passes for 693 yards and two scores.
Hardman has recorded 178 receptions for 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns in his career. He has also rushed the ball 26 times for 190 yards and three touchdowns.in
Time will tell whether or not Hardman eventually becomes a difference maker for Allen, but Buffalo certainly needs a player with vertical speed like Hardman.
Hardman’s quickest path to making Buffalo’s roster, though, is on special teams. The veteran receiver was named a second-team All-Pro returner as a rookie in 2019. He also earned a Pro Bowl nod as a returner that season. In his career, Hardman has 89 punt returns for 819 yards and one touchdown. He also has 45 kick returns for 1,073 yards and one touchdown.
