”I think Mecole is hungrier than he’s ever been,” Mathieu told reporters in his Zoom press conference Thursday morning. “Each and every practice, he’s trying to find me — and I don’t know whether to take that as a compliment or disrespect. I know iron sharpens iron, but it seems like every day, he wants to see me. I’m grateful that I can get him better, it has been a pleasure to see him come to work. Even when he makes a mistake or drops a ball, he’s not hanging his head — he’s running back to the huddle.”

That isn’t your stereotypical “he looks great” type of player speak. He was very specific with his praise and I don’t see any reason to believe he’s not being genuine here.
Will it translate? We shall see, but it does sound like Hardman is locked in and hungry.
