Buffalo Bills cornerback was a Day 3 selection at the 2024 NFL draft but don’t tell him that.
Hardy, a sixth-round pick, is fighting for a place on Buffalo’s final 53-man roster as final roster cuts approach on Tuesday. Slowly, Hardy’s sounding like he is locking one in.
When discussing Hardy, Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott’s tune has improved over time. McDermott went from “the decision-making needs work” to “vastly improved.”
As far as Hardy is concerned, the confidence has not wavered over time.
“I feel like I’m a playmaker,” Hardy said via Spectrum News. “I’m good with the ball in my hands.”
Hardy added that he thinks every time he touches the ball, he’s envisioning a potential “house call” for a score.

I talked with him about his path to the NFL (he almost went to UB) and his big play mindset as a returner and defender. Story tonight @SPECNews1BUF #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/9SppARRRIc
