The drama between Super Bowl hero Mecole Hardmon and his former team continues to unfold with the Kansas City Chiefs wideout vehemently denying allegations that he leaked the New York Jets’ game plans during his brief tenure with the team last season. 

Hardman, coming off his third Super Bowl victory with the Chiefs, took to social media on Friday to dismiss allegations that he was responsible for leaking game plans when he played with the Jets earlier this season.

"There were FALSE accusations made about me and MY CHARACTER! To set the record straight, I have never and would never leak gameplans to another team," he wrote in a post on X.

"I have never been a person to give an opponent an upper hand. I always want to win no matter the circumstances!!!!!" 

The allegations stem from a since-deleted post made by Jets’ cornerback Sauce Gardner, who responded to criticisms Hardman made of the team during a podcast earlier this week. 

"We ain’t gon talk about how our offensive gameplan got leaked vs. the Eagles tho," Gardner reportedly said in the message, according to the New York Post.
