Wide receiver Mecole Hardman has insisted he will offer the New York Jets more than just a basic running play option in a feisty retort to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The 25-year-old, a free agent after leaving Super Bowl winners Kansas City, agreed to a one-year £5.3million ($6.5million) deal with the franchise on Wednesday to bolster their exciting array of players at the position. The news garnered interest from Jets fans and NFL media members including Schefter, whose assessment of the Chiefs man did not go down particularly well.
Hardman took exception to Schefter’s Tweet which read: “The Jets now add a player to run jet sweeps, and more.” The NFL insider was referring to a fundamental - and incredibly effective - running play which relies on a speedy receiver with the skills of Hardman.
