Mecole Hardman participated in an interview on The Pivot and has certainly ruffled some feathers of his former employer.

Hardman was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs back in 2019 and spent four seasons at Arrowhead Stadium.

In his rookie year, he won the Super Bowl and registered 538 yards off 26 receptions – averaging 20.7 yards per catch.

Hardman’s first Chiefs stint

Another two seasons followed breaking the 500-yard receiving barrier, which included a career-high 638 yards.

The 2^nd round draft pick endured an injury plagued fourth-season, where he completed only 8 games.

To his fortune, he earned his second ring when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII after he was activated off the injury reserve.

The New York Jets sought after Hardman’s services and signed the wide receiver in March 2023.

His stint in the Big Apple was short and sweet to say the least.

After playing just a mere five games with the Jets, Hardman was sent back to the Chiefs in a trade.

Throughout the five games with the Jets, Hardman registered just 1 singular catch.

Hardman has had no reason to look back in disappointment because he has gone onto win another ring at Super Bowl LVIII.

Patrick Mahomes found Hardman in the endzone to seal the victory in a dramatic overtime encounter.

Now, the Georgia native has sparked a reaction from many Jets teammates with his statements in a recent interview on The Pivot.

Hardman says ‘No standards there’

During the interview, Hardman called out the disjointed offense after Super Bowl winner Aaron Rodgers was injured.

Hardman critically claimed: “There’s no standards there. Everybody does what they want to do.”

This has since provoked a reaction form the New York Jets Punter, Thomas Morstead, on X: “Be careful getting information from disgruntled former employees.

“Getting beat out by a rookie free agent after being guaranteed millions of dollars is tough to deal with.”

Morstead seems to imply that Hardman still holds a grudge due to his lack of production whilst on the team.

Hardman won’t care. He is a three-time Super Bowl champion now, and happier than ever.
