The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly having casual conversations with one of the fastest players in the NFL.

The Minnesota Vikings are keeping an eye on one of the most explosive players currently on the free agency market.

According to Darren Wolfson, the Vikings have had casual conversations with former Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman.

Hardman, 25, is one of the fastest receivers in football and would add another vertical threat out wide for QB Kirk Cousins. 

He has played four seasons in the NFL, all with Kansas City, and has three seasons with at least 500 receiving yards. In 2022, Hardman recorded 25 receptions for 297 receiving yards and four touchdowns. 

You can't teach speed.

He managed to do all of this by playing in just eight games due to a season-ending groin injury which was surgically repaired in February.

Hardman has one Pro Bowl appearance under his belt as well as two Super Bowl rings, even though he did not suit up against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl Super Bowl LVII.

While nothing appears imminent, this could be a situation to monitor moving forward. After losing Adam Thielen, Minnesota could use a veteran presence on the outside to pair with Justin Jefferson.
