I hope Mecole works his ass off this offseason, because I think he has a big opportunity to shine next season.
I think with the additions on the OL, we are going to 1) have a running game that defenses will have to respect, reducing the numbers in the secondary; and 2) Patrick will have more time for the deeper routes to develop, which will align well with his best asset - speed - to create separation downfield.
Additionally, should the rookie WR, or Callaway, pan out early (moreso than Pringle/DRob) it will free Hardman up even more.
He has a big opportunity to become more than a jet-sweep specialist, if he works his ass off.
