So it makes sense the Panthers have shown interest in\u00a0Chiefs\u00a0free-agent receiver\u00a0Mecole Hardman, who ran a 4.33 40 in 2019 before Kansas City took him in the second round. Hardman, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie, would be a nice complement to\u00a0DJ Moore. Hardman should have plenty of suitors, with Spotrac projecting a four-year, $41.6 million contract for the former Georgia wideout.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When coming out of Georgia, Hardman turned heads at the 2019 combine with a blazing 40-yard dash of 4.33 seconds\u2014which was tied for the second-fastest time amongst all wideouts that year. He continued to make an early impression into his rookie season, as he was selected to the Pro Bowl as a return specialist.<\/p>\n<p>Over his four-year career, the two-time Super Bowl champion has amassed 2,088 yards and 16 touchdowns off 151 receptions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pantherswire.usatoday.com\/2023\/03\/07\/panthers-interest-free-agency-chiefs-wr-mecole-hardman\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Panthers Wire<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The quarterback position isn\u2019t the only spot the Carolina Panthers are trying to work on this offseason.
