He may not be a Jets afterthought much longer.
The Jets likely envisioned a bigger role for Hardman if Aaron Rodgers was under center, but the quarterback’s season ended on his fourth offensive play of the year.“Very surprising, honestly. But I’m just here to do my role. When they need me, they need me. If we’re winning games, I can’t complain.”
The speedy Hardman was one of several receiving additions the Jets made this offseason, also signing Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb away from the Packers.“I do think I can definitely help with some things, being explosive and making things happen,” Hardman said last Thursday. “That’s definitely my mindset anytime I’m on the field. Whenever that chance presents itself, I’ll make sure I go out there and show that.
“I just gotta keep working, keep getting familiar with the offense, keep building trust with the staff and hopefully waiting for my opportunity to come. When they do, take advantage. … When they dial something up for me, I’ll make sure I make it count.”The speedy Hardman started his career with three respectable seasons with the Chiefs after being taken in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Georgia.
Hardman accumulated 1,791 yards receiving in those first three seasons before year four was cut short due to a core injury.See All Columnists
