Kansas City's Mecole Hardman sets NFL rookie record

Mecole Hardman Jr. has been dynamic all season long for the explosive Kansas City Chief offense. Hardman, a former Georgia Bulldog, leads the NFL with 20.7 yards per reception. Hardman finished the season with 508 receiving yards on 25 receptions.

Hardman is set to play in the Pro Bowl as a specialist. The rookie has bigger aspirations than that: he’s looking to play in the Super Bowl. With the Chiefs locking up a playoff slot and a first round bye, they have a considerable chance to represent the AFC.

Today, Hardman set a rookie record: he became the first rookie to have an eighty yard TD reception and a 100 plus yard kick return TD.
