The Kansas City Chiefs retained a familiar name on Friday with the re-signing of wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who returns for a sixth season with the back-to-back defending world champions.
Hardman, who originally joined the Chiefs as a second-round pick in 2019, caught 151 passes for 2,088 yards and 16 touchdowns through his first four seasons as a professional. He then joined the New York Jets as a free agent ahead of last year, but Kansas City re-acquired Hardman in a trade mid-season.
He hauled in 14 passes for 118 yards in six regular-season games after returning to Kansas City, culminating in his game-winning touchdown grab in Super Bowl LVIII.
Now back with the Chiefs, Hardman will have an opportunity to pick right back up where he left off.
