There might not be a more explosive player on the UGA roster than this former 5 star recruit from Elbert County. Mecole Hardman Jr. will get his shots in 2017 to make an impact in games, and in all three phases of the game (Offense, Defense, Special teams), but it is on Special Teams where he could make the most immediate impact.

Again, UGA averaged a paltry 20.2 yards/return. That has to change in 2017 for Georgia to make a move in the SEC East. Hardman, who played QB in High School, will be asked to play a lot of Defense (Star and Corner), but Kick Returner is also a need, and he has the burst, field vision, and break away speed to turn a game on its head.
