Mecole Hardman and Patrick Mahomes were joking on Twitter after the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback signed a record breaking deal

Mecole Hardman and Patrick Mahomes were joking on Twitter after the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback signed a record breaking deal. Mahomes can earn up to $503 Million over his ten year contract according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He and former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Mecole Hardman should be playing together for years to come.

Hardman averaged over twenty yards per catch en route to a solid rookie season last year, where he established himself as on of the NFL’s top deep threats. The speedy wide receiver complimented Tyreek Hill well. Hardman finished with 26 catches for 583 yards and six touchdowns.

Last season Hardman and Mahomes helped the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. The Chiefs had three consecutive comeback victories in a historic postseason run.

Here’s what Mahomes and Hardman had to say on Twitter following the record contract signing:

Tyreek Hill shared what he’s been doing when Mahomes starts buying time during his career:

Mahomes, Hardman, and Hill will be fun to watch for years to come. The Chiefs have one of the NFL’s best deep passing attacks ever. Look for Hardman to have an even bigger season during his second year in the NFL.
