Super Bowl Champ Mecole Hardman on Catching the Game Winning Pass & Crazy Chiefs Afterparty in Vegas

[@DrOzzy15]

So cool for Mecole to get to do this. Guy has been counted out so many times. And delivered on the biggest stage.

[@deezingo]

That’s the miraculous part. Folks had written him off.

Mecole Hardman's winning touchdown catch will remain in our thoughts and memories for a long time. Go Chiefs ❤.

This man cost me $500 on my 49ers ticket. If I was in the audience at Kimmels show I’d jump at him like the guy who tried to attack the judge 😂

[@CashMoolah00]

He had the most confused “did we win” look after he caught😂😂

[@matiasmoscosocevallos5216]

I’m so mad I didn’t watch it: I went to bed 5 minutes before the end of the regular game.

[@chiefsagain]

I know it will I literally cried when he caught it.

[@kwoylee5617]

I am so happy for Mecole. He's such a good dude and works his tail off. He had some low moments this season, and people were criticising him, but the team never gave up trust in him. Couldn't be happier for him.

[@SomeGuyFromOK]

My whole family of KC fans called me crazy when I told them I wanted Kansas City to trade back for him and look where he’s at now.

[@Levi-yp1dt]

I remember being SO PUMPED that he was coming back to KC mid-season! He’s an incredible dude and I’ve been singing his praises since day 1. I am thrilled for him. He deserves the love and he was ready for the moment.

[@sethtackett5540]

Sad when he left, happy when he got traded back, ecstatic that he was the one that caught the game winning touchdown.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

It sucked, cause I felt he was really starting to become a decent WR3. The trade to the Jets set him back overall & by the time the Chiefs got him, he needed a couple/few months to get back up to a good level. Of course, then he gets hurt, which set him back even more, but he had two major grand in this game. One was the 60 yard bomb to him in the first half & even though Pacheco fumbled right after that play (something he’s only done once this year!) it was still a huge play. Then he ran that corndog route to perfection & won the game! I’m really happy for him☺️

[@Dinqnash]

I'm happy that Mecole is getting his shine. Go Chiefs!!!

[@b89atchison]

I've loved Mecole since the moment we drafted him in KC. I remember seeing that he bought his momma a house with his first big paycheck and it was the most amazing thing. He's gone through a lot in his short career and so happy he got the winning TD in this years game after missing last year due to injury.

[@iammondo1870]

seriously. he was such an energetic force on the team and I was a little crushed when we sent him to NY. Glad he’s back and hope he hangs out for a while. 3-peat!!

[@wormhole-r3l]

This is such a feel good story, unbelievable we got him back and he ends up catching the SB winning touchdown.

[@ckendall67]

He's living the dream right now. 😀 Caught the biggest touchdown pass of his life, in overtime, last play of the game, in the most-watched Super Bowl in television history. And it will replayed hundreds of times for years to come. Incredible. Way to go Mecole!!! 😀

[@teresawatson9656]

Love Mecole, he is great!

Congrats to the Kansas Chiefs for a greaaaaat season. They have brought a lot of honor to the state and people of Kansas. Do you think Chiefs will be able to win again next year??

[@tedtamada]

He’s funny. Love his energy.

[@am2320LG]

Same! Cute too😉

[@aaronisacomedian]

Man this is so cool. The 2022 season I was at the Monday night game against the Titans when Hardman got injured. Prior to the injury during a timeout he was standing near where he would return a punt when the break was over. My section started chanting his name & he acknowledged it. Him being the guy to catch the last pass of the season is the highlight of all of this. Go Chiefs!

[@stubbornascrows2625]

I was at Arrowhead for that game too. 🙌🏻

[@diannam8796]

I’m a fan of both Mahomes and Kelce but it’s nice to see other players on Chiefs get some air time.

Of course!!! They deserve it too😊

He does indeed have a sign, I drive right up to it at the four way daily! Congrats Mecole, you're making Bowman and Elbert County proud.

Nice. Found it Google driving that intersection lol Awesome sign, too! "Welcome to Bowman, Georgia. Home of Mecole Hardman, Jr.," with a large photo of him playing.

[@Ron71997]

Wow, 3 seconds left in the game and Mecole catches the pass for the touchdown to win the Super Bowl - Just imagine the feeling getting the winning touchdown. He is so chill and laid back, cool dude. Congratulations Chiefs!!🏈🏈

That chain with the F-16 fighter jet pendant is FIRE.. usually not a fan of some of the chains athletes or artists wear but that's one of the more dope/creative ones I seen. 🔥

[@user-to4cq1co3n]

fitting for him too since he’s nicknamed the jet ✈️

[@drzecelectric4302]

Agreed! Lol

[@Dirty_testaverde]

I think he got it when he signed with the jets before they traded him back to KC

[@MysteriaLentine]

He’s the JET

[@adw1768]

At first, I didn't know what that chain was outside of being large... when I finally got it, I was like yeah...I love military jets, the blackbird being my favorite...now knowing Mecole is called the jet... I love it and mecole 💋as well...hi to Kelce.🏈

[@lifeforms7423]

This is awesome for Mecole. He had an injury plagued season last year and didn't get to contribute basically at all, then goes to the Jets and doesn't even get any snaps, only to come back to the Chiefs and be a major piece in winning it all. He's a 3x champion, but this is the first time he's actually getting any lime light considering Mahomes and Kelce are usually the ones soaking that all up.

[@mteokay1246]

Gutted Niner fan here but as a Georgian, love ma brotha Mecole ! Big hometown hero faux REAL !

[@Christi6746]

You guys played a fantastic game! The result of the game may have been different had you not had so many injuries! That was heartbreaking! I may be a lifelong Chiefs girl, but I have mad respect for the Niners after that game!

[@chiefsagain]

​​@@Christi6746come on we had injuries too.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

​@Christi6746 I'm a Niners fan from the Joe Montana days. IMHO, he's the GOAT. But, after watching the Netflix series, Quarterback, I fell in love with the Patrick Mahomes story. I was torn watching both teams Montana played for compete in the Super Bowl. It all boiled down to Bert Bell's saying, "On any given Sunday." I feel for the Niners 💔 and rejoice with the Chiefs. ❤ Both teams played one hellava game. 🏈🏆

[@loganleroy8622]

The jet was on autopilot in that moment

[@DragynGirl]

II saw the replay where Mahomes was miced up. I don't think Hardman knew until Mahomes ran at hiim yelling "we won!" or somethiing like that

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

a quick history. He was drafted the second season Mahomes was the starter. Because of his speed(very close to Tyreek) the receivers were called the Legion of Zoom. He's been in every Super Bowl Mahomes has been in. Mahomes has called him his favorite receitver more than once. When his rookie contract was up, they let him slip away to the Jets, who for some reason, didnt use him. He dropped a few passes and the Jets, let him waste away and Veach and Reid brought him back mid-season. Not many would have trusted him in that situation to win the Super Bowl, but Mahomes always will.

[@JimWorsham]

He deserves the praise! This man was hurt and played in the AFC champ game last year. Injury was to much for him to play in the last SB. He got his this SB and haha luckily KCs GM brought him back from NY to get his redemption

The cities in the kc metro area has been doing this every victory parade since royals won world series in 2015

The funny thing is, a lot of the KS side schools weren't (Monday morning had only Shawnee Mission schools closed wed), stating "we've already had 5 snow days this year to make up, and it is only February, we still have a lot more winter to go". The parents started calling their kids in out for Wed, and by Monday evening most of the districts caved and called off school. I know this because 2 of my brothers have kids in KS districts that were going to stay open Wed (Blue Valley and Spring Hill). I'll be watching the parade and festivities on TV, well, when I'm not at my PT appt 😆
