Dream free agent wide receivers for Packers: Mecole Hardman

Hardman has thrived in Kansas City’s offense since entering the NFL in 2019. He had career-highs in receptions (59) and receiving yards (693) in 2021, looking like he was on the verge of a breakout campaign. Unfortunately, injuries derailed his 2022 season and prevented that from happening.

Now, he hits the free agent market along with JuJu Smith-Schuster. The Chiefs have some key decisions, and Green Bay could slide in to try to take away one of their primary weapons.

Hardman is a speedster who would thrive in Matt LaFleur’s offense. He can run crossers, take jet sweeps and open up underneath routes for his teammates. He should be a priority for the Packers this offseason.
