The other rumors are that Hardman's looking fast but not physical.
You have a return man that is afraid of contact and he's gonna be pretty ineffective over any appreciable timeline. He'll start to take his eyes down as he's catching it and those fumbles will only get worse.
I really didn't think Smith would make the team either but if Hardman can't get used to contact a little faster, the Chiefs may not have a choice. [Reply]

Hardman never struck me as a guy that’s afraid to take a hit when watching film. I don’t know where you heard these rumors, but I haven’t seen that anywhere? [Reply]

No surprise. He put the same stats in college as Pringle. [Reply]
