VIDEO: Mecole Hardman Workout Clip Proves Chiefs Need to Involve Him More in the Offense Next Season

The Kansas City Chiefs didn't solely win Super Bowl LIV due to the play of quarterback of Patrick Mahomes. Plenty of credit must be given to their "Legion of Zoom" wide receiving corps consisting of Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins. While Mecole Hardman was clumped in with the duo, he didn't see much playing time on the offensive side of the ball during his rookie season. That can (and should) all change in 2020, especially after taking a look at this workout clip of his.

The footwork Hardman displayed in those four seconds shows he can be a defender's nightmare if given more snaps.

Entering last year's NFL Draft, Hardman was praised for his ridiculous speed, but analysts said his route-running was his greatest weakness. We sure about that now, fellas?

With Hill dealing with off-field issues that threatened playing time, the Chiefs selected Hardman in the second round. In his rookie season, Hardman caught 26 passes for 538 yards and six touchdowns, while accumulating 871 return yards.

Head coach Andy Reid must be chomping at the bit to give Hardman more offensive snaps after watching this clip. We can't say we blame him, either.
