Mecole Hardman was a hero in the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers back in February, and with a Super Bowl LVIII rematch playing out at Levi’s Stadium this afternoon, the veteran wideout was keen to make his presence felt in Week 7.
Hardman caught one pass for 17 yards in the first half, but his most impressive effort came on a punt return in the second quarter that gave Kansas City’s offense favorable field position to extend its slim lead.
Take a look at Hardman’s outstanding return in this video, which was posted to Twitter by the NFL’s official account:

With JuJu Smith-Schuster listed as questionable to return due to a hamstring injury, expect Hardman to continue putting on a show as he looks to earn a greater role in Andy Reid’s offense heading into Week 8.
Stay tuned to see if Hardman can find paydirt against the 49ers later in the game.
