Chiefs Super Bowl star explains the uncertainty of roster cuts: ‘Nervous times around here’

The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs had many stars return for training camp this year, but they still face the possibility of being left out ahead of the 2024 regular season.

Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman spoke with reporters on Tuesday after practice to discuss the uncertainty and nervousness surrounding players on the bubble trying to make the regular season roster.

“Some people are solidified in certain things, but yeah, it’s definitely one of those times where all the hard work that you’ve been doing the whole camp and trying to make a way and try to make a spot on the team,” said Hardman. “So definitely some nervous times around here for me too, you never know what can happen, So I think the approach to take is just take advantage of every opportunity and going there with a clear mind and do the best you can do, and then whatever happens, happens, but definitely some nervous times for sure.”

Hardman is among a talented group of wide receivers hoping to secure a roster spot. His history with the organization is helpful, but nothing is guaranteed, and the final preseason game holds heavy importance.
