Before catching the game-winning touchdown for the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII, Mecole Hardman Jr. began the season with the New York Jets where he was seldom used in the team’s offense. Now as is set to become a free agent, he made it very clear that while he doesn’t know exactly where he will end up, it sure won’t be with the Jets.
During a recent interview with Andrew Siciliano of the NFL Network, Mecole Hardman Jr. opened up about his future in the league, making it clear that he is taking a “wait and see” approach to whether or not he will remain with the Kansas City Chiefs.
“Right now you’re just hearing talk and seeing what’s going on, people’s ideas,” Hardman said in an interview with NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano. “And you’ll probably get a better idea as the week goes on. But whenever free agency starts, you’ll know. But we’ll see if they want me back. If not, might be somewhere else. So, we’ll see.”

But Hardman made it extremely clear where he won’t be signing.
“No,” Hardman said with a laugh. “I won’t go back to the Jets.”
Hardman appeared in five games for the Jets this season, catching just one pass for six yards.
Needless to say, it’s pretty obvious why he wouldn’t want to go back.
