KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The man who caught the game winner in the Super Bowl in February is headed back to Kansas City.
NFL.com reports that Mecole Hardman is re-signing with the Chiefs on a one-year contract, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Thursday, per a source informed of the deal.
A second-round pick by the Chiefs in 2019, Hardman spent his first four years in K.C. before signing in New York last offseason. His stint with the Jets lasted just five games and one catch before being shipped back to Kansas City.
In six regular-season games with the Chiefs last season, Hardman earned 14 catches for 118 yards. He had five catches for 62 yards in four postseason games, including three grabs for 57 yards and the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl victory over San Francisco.
