The KC Chiefs invested a second round pick at wide receiver in the 2019 NFL Draft and elected for Mecole Hardman over several top-tier receivers available in that draft class. The fan base’s idea was that the Chiefs would develop Hardman’s route running ability and create another Tyreek Hill. Hardman has electrifying speed and is very capable of taking it the distance every time he touches the ball.
