Talk about a season coming full circle for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman. 

Hardman, who spent his first four NFL seasons with the Chiefs, started the 2023 campaign with the New York Jets. However, after being used sparingly, he was released, and the Chiefs quickly picked him back up. 

Months later, he was on the receiving end of an overtime touchdown from Patrick Mahomes to win Super Bowl LVIII.

He said he "blacked out" when that happened. 

"I ain’t gonna lie man, I caught that pass and I blacked out," he said on CBS’ postgame show Sunday night following the 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. "I didn’t know what was going on until I saw Pat running to me and I was like, ‘Oh, we just won? Let’s celebrate!’"
