Georgia football great Mecole Hardman closed out his rookie season with a Super Bowl win.
Hardman, a second round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, took the NFL by storm with his incredible speed and highlight reel touchdowns.
Hardman did not have the biggest impact on Sunday night’s game, but he was an instrumental piece in helping the Chiefs make it to world champions.
His rookie season saw the Georgia great record 538 yards and 6 touchdowns on 26 receptions. He also earned a spot in the NFL Pro Bowl.
The former 5-star recruit out of Elberton, Georgia (Elbert County) was one of the most electrifying players that UGA has produced in a long time.
During his three years at Georgia, Hardman caught 60 catches for 961 yards and 11 touchdowns.
On Sunday, following the Chiefs 31-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers, Georgia fans took to Twitter to congratulate the former Bulldog, rejoicing in his accomplishment.
