Young free agents Packers should pursue: Mecole Hardman, Wide Receiver

Hardman would add a potential game breaker to the Packers’ roster. His elite speed means he’s a homerun threat whenever he touches the rock or steps onto the football field. The Packers’ head coach Matt LaFleur would have fun scheming horizontal passing plays for him.

Hardman struggled with injuries in 2022, but was a rising player before that. He increased his receptions and receiving yards in each of his three seasons, capping at 59 receptions for 693 yards in 2021.
