Is that the Fresh Prince of Broad Street? Former Georgia wide receiver Mecole Hardman entered Arrowhead Stadium this afternoon dressed as yet another pop culture icon ahead of the AFC Championship Game.
You may recall that last week the Kansas City Chiefs’ rookie standout arrived at his home stadium dressed as iconic rapper LL Cool J ahead of the divisional round matchup against the Houston Texans.
Hardman’s attention to detail was quite thorough: he showed up with a mid-1980’s boombox perched on his shoulder over a red felt tracksuit. He wore a gold chain thick enough to choke a man and expensive enough to bankrupt another.

This week, Hardman continued the theme. I just wish he found a jersey from Bel-Air Academy with the number 14 printed on it.

With a Sony Walkman in his pocket, Hardman even showed off another era-appropriate relic. DJ Jazzy Jeff is smiling somewhere in Philadelphia.
If the Chiefs want to increase the probability of making their first Super Bowl appearance since 1969, their recipe is simple: Don’t let any player named Carlton Banks touch the ball.
