The West Coast timing passing game, featuring frequent short to intermediate routes and the ability to turn quick catches into explosive plays, is an effective match for Hardman.
As a rookie, Hardman projects as a gadget player, return specialist, and complementary deep threat, with the ceiling to develop into a high-volume complementary receiver.
A run-heavy, pro-style offense that relies on possession receivers and vertical threats would limit Hardman's impact.
Hardman's explosive speed and quickness are valuable assets in an offense designed to create space and exploit mismatches, especially in the return game.
Selected #56 overall in Round 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Kansas City Chiefs out of Georgia.
