This is true.
What's also true:
Hardman was tied for third most receptions among the TEN (10) KC receivers that caught balls on Thursday, with 3 (the average was 2)
He gained the third most yards on the team (49yds)
He had the second most yards/catch (16.3yds/reception)
Second longest reception (30yds)
caught three balls on four targets (75% rec. rate)
Here's the thing: if Pat really keeps spreading the ball around the way he has the first two games, no one on the team is going to have really big solo numbers. Most of our receivers will have 3-4 catches/game for the season, outside of Kelce.
Mecole had himself a good game, and he did it without being a gadget guy. Check the tape; he's running solid routes creating leverage and space for himself at the break, and catching some tough contested balls. That catch to secure the first down pass on that little hook route is a perfect example.
