He is arguably the reason we have won two Super Bowls....

The key is, and always was, finding the best ways to use him. He is very good at what he excels at, not the same with getting him out of his comfort zone. Ever since the Chiefs figured out how to use him, he's been productive. [Reply]
As a return man he's been excellent making decisions and then he has had some good returns as well. When he's receiving kicks and punts I have very little anxiety. [Reply]

Punt return vs the Texans
OT TD
Half the players on the team have a case to make for being the reason we won two straight.
I’ve learned to greatly appreciate Hardman and his team contributions since getting traded back and stepping up to make some plays, but his playoff contributions aren’t any bigger than some of the other guys. The deep ball catch from Mahomes could have been seen as a far more critical play if it weren’t followed up by that Pacheco fumble [Reply]

He looked so slow last season and early this year, but it looks like he's finally getting his speed back. [Reply]

Three. He made perhaps the most underappreciated catch in our dynasty.
Injured. 3rd down. 13-13 tie in our rematch vs the Bengals.
He catches a rope from Mahomes and while dealing with an injury and proceeds to be folded like an absolute pretzel. But he somehow holds on, and it knocks him out of the postseason. Meanwhile, that drive results in 7 with Mahomes throwing it to a sitting MVS.
The pretzel play was the play that Mahomes reaggravated his injury and happened on MVS’ most brilliant drive with KC, which is why I think it’s often forgotten. [Reply]
