GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers and receiver Mecole Hardman agreed to a one-year contract on Tuesday. The news, first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, was confirmed by a source.
Hardman, who turned 27 on March 12, will be a good fit in Green Bay and will have a chance to be a much larger contributor than he has the last few seasons.
A second-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019, he looked like a budding star. He was a Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro as a rookie, when he averaged 26.1 yards per kickoff return – including a 104-yard touchdown – 9.
