Mecole Hardman’s Green Bay Packers debut could not have gone much worse. The veteran receiver and return specialist struggled in Green Bay’s 30-10 preseason loss to the New York Jets, making costly mistakes that may have hurt his chances of earning a roster spot in a crowded Packers receiving room.
Signed to a one-year deal this offseason, Hardman is competing for a backup receiver role and the primary return duties. The Packers already have several locks at the position, including Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and rookie draft picks Matthew Golden and Savion Williams.
