Every time you see him, he’s being blasted from a cannon straight downfield
Let him learn the pro game with simple but huge plays, then slowly dial in all the other intricacies... I’m loving it [Reply]
So I asked Mecole Hardman whether he was going top speed on his TD. "I was about 80 percent, 85,'' he said. Hardman got up to 21.7 mph according to Next Gen stats, the fastest a ball carrier has run on any NFL TD this year.

Just the opposite my friend. He will stick his head in their and do the dirty work when needed. He is a football player who just happens to have world class speed. [Reply]

And Shady who's apparently still like 85% of the old Shady.

Incredible lineup.
Yeah, at least 5 serious receiver weapons and 4 pretty solid RB's that can make plays in the receiving game too. Mix it with Mahomes' arm/vision and Reid's playcalling...scary combo! [Reply]

I think he turned it up to 100% at about the 35-yard line. You can see him kick it into another gear. It didn't last long, long enough for him to make sure he wasn't going to get caught. Robinson did a good job of getting in the way to help out too. [Reply]

Mecole confirmed in postgame interview that he was only running 80-85%, haha [Reply]
Mecole Hardman (@MecoleHardman4) reached 21.74 MPH on his 83-yard receiving TD, the fastest speed reached by a ball carrier on a scoring play this season.

Going one step farther, maybe too far for some peoples taste, but just maybe Tyreeks off season problems that motivated the Chiefs to draft Hardman is turning out better than you could have hoped. [Reply]
I like what the kids brought to the table so far, i think i understand what the virus meants. Hes a really fast kid who lacks some pro game refinement but its hard to even think about that considering how long its taken other guys to show up in this system. Hes young fast and fast tracking the offense. [Reply]
