Matt Lane on KCSN had an interesting take on Hardman's issues. He said Hardman doesn't have that little extra burst that Tyreek and really good fast receivers do - where no matter how fast they're running, they can always accelerate for 3-4 steps to catch up to an overthrown ball. So it's not so much that he slows down, but that he can't, or doesn't, speed up.
Not sure how true that is but it squares with the way he looks on the field.
