Watch: Mecole Hardman hype video ahead of Super Bowl

Former Georgia Bulldogs receiver Mecole Hardman will look to win a second Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs in his second NFL season.

Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Mecole Hardman will have a chance to win a second Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs in his second NFL season. The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to become the first NFL team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since Tom Brady and the 2003-2004 New England Patriots.

If Hardman can win another Super Bowl, then his Chiefs’ rookie class (2019) will be the first rookie class since the 2003 New England Patriots’ rookie class to open their careers with consecutive Super Bowl titles (with the team that drafted them).

Mecole Hardman and fellow teammates like practice squad defensive tackle Tyler Clark and injured defensive back DeAndre Baker are the three Georgia Bulldogs who could all earn Super Bowl rings this year.

Watch this hype video of Mecole Hardman ahead of Super Bowl LV:

Mecole Hardman played well for the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills after he muffed a punt. The speedster out of the University of Georgia could make a game-changing explosive play in the Super Bowl.

Hardman is expected play a key role in the Super Bowl as the Chiefs’ No. 3 receiver. Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill will draw attention from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense and as a result Mecole Hardman should receive a lot of one-on-one coverage. Kelce and Hill have been unstoppable in the NFL Playoffs, so slowing them down is easier said than done.

Tom Brady and the Bucs should provide elite competition for the Chiefs, who are 16-1 when their starters play this season. Tampa Bay has no former Georgia Bulldogs on their roster for the big game. Tampa Bay is the first team to host a Super Bowl in their home stadium.

Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Mecole Hardman will have a chance to win a second Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs

Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Mecole Hardman will have a chance to win a second Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 7.

Mecole Hardman played well for the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game after he muffed a punt in the first quarter. He quickly made up for it with a 50 yard run play and then a touchdown reception.

Here’s Hardman’s touchdown, which cut the Buffalo Bills’  early lead to two points:

The Kansas City Chiefs went on to defeat Buffalo 38-24.

Hardman will play a key role in the Super Bowl as the Chiefs’ No. 3 receiver. Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill will draw a bunch of attention from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense and Hardman should receive a lot of one-on-one coverage.

Kelce and Hill have been unstoppable in the NFL Playoffs, so slowing them down is easier said than done. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will look to win back-to-back Super Bowls.

Tom Brady and the Bucs should provide some significant competition for the Chiefs, who are 16-1 when their starters play this year. Tampa Bay has no former Georgia Bulldogs on their roster at the moment. Tampa Bay is the first team to host a Super Bowl in their home stadium.

Mecole Hardman’s reaction to his muffed punt was priceless. Georgia fans and Chiefs fans were glad to see him bounce back later.

UGA football releases hype video for Mecole Hardman ahead of Super Bowl

Former Georgia Bulldog Mecole Hardman Jr. will be playing in Super Bowl LIV as his Kansas City Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers.

Former Georgia Bulldog Mecole Hardman Jr. will be playing in Super Bowl LIV as his Kansas City Chiefs face off against the dominant San Francisco 49ers. Hardman Jr. will play a big-role in the game. He’ll have a chance to provide to Chiefs with a spark with a return, catch, or jet sweep.

Games like this are why the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Hardman in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The Chiefs were looking for another explosive receiver in their passing game to compliment Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, and Travis Kelce. Patrick Mahomes leads Kansas City’s offense, which is averaging 43 points per game in the playoffs.

The Chiefs face their toughest opponent of the 2020 postseason in the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are allowing 15 points per game in the playoffs. San Francisco features an elite pass rush and a stout secondary including Richard Sherman, arguably the best corner in the NFL. Sherman will match up with Kelce, Watkins, and Hill often, but will rarely face Hardman. This will give Hardman a unique opportunity to make a splash play in a championship game. When Patrick Mahomes gets enough time, will he and Hardman be able to hook up for the next big Super Bowl moment?

Hardman has made numerous big-plays this season and could make the difference with one the Super Bowl. Georgia football released a hype video of Hardman’s explosive play-making ability ahead of the Super Bowl:
