He can't catch downfield. He improved but he was a drop machine. His longest passes are bubble screens that he'd catch and then run far."
I do not like that. Tyreek was amazing tracking the ball. It's totally different if you have to rely on screens to get moving. If we had Alex, sure. But with Mahomes you have to get down field and catch 40 yard passes regularly.
Everything I've read since on Hardman is that he's a natural pass catcher and an extremely "with purpose" change of direction route runner. He's just as fast as Parris and he looks the look.
Also I trust our scouts more than draft website part time dudes.

Yeah, people need to watch Paris Campbell games, not highlights. Dude is fast as hell. But he's not a good pass catcher. Almost to the point of being klutzy.
