2019 NFL Draft: The Patriots get a closer look at WR Mecole Hardman and EDGE Ben Banogu

With a little over two weeks left until the start of the NFL Draft, the Patriots front office is continuing its push to finalize their draft board by getting a closer look at two of the most athletically-gifted prospects in the draft.

The first, who announced his visit to Foxborough on his Instagram page (h/t to Cat Scratch Reader’s Billy Marshall), was Georgia wide receiver Mecole Hardman.

Hardman, who just turned 21 last month, isn’t the biggest WR (5’ 10-1/4”, 187 lbs), but he has a strong (17 reps of 225), muscular frame that can stand up to contact, and he is arguably the most electric player in the draft with the football in his hands.
