Fast, athletic and versatile for his 6-foot-3, 310 pound frame, Marcus Hardison was selected in the fourth round, 135th overall, by the Cincinatti Bengals in the 2015 NFL Draft.
From that point on, it hasn’t been the career he may have expected.
In 2015, Hardison made a slight impact for the Bengals, but all of it was in the preseason. His nine total tackles and one sack in four preseason games were a contribution for Hardison, but not enough for him to see playing.
Hardison suffered a knee injury through the first four weeks on the season and then went inactive the rest of 2015.
