I Even Bleed Red Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 2015 NFL Draft: Falcons, Jets among teams that got faster Atlanta FalconsRound 1, Pick 8: Vic Beasley, OLBRound 2, Pick 42: Jalen Collins, CBRound 3, Pick 73: Tevin Coleman, RBRound 4, Pick 107: Justin Hardy, WRRound 5, Pick 137: Grady Jarrett, NT Round 7, Pick 225: Jake Rodgers, OTRound 7, Pick 249: Akeem King, DThe Falcons are revamping their roster under new head coach Dan Quinn. The team added explosive athletes on both sides of the ball to enable them to attack opponents on the edges. Vic Beasley is the most dynamic pass rusher off the edge in this year's class, and the team added a pair of fleet-footed defensive backs in Jalen Collins and Akeem King to cover him up in the backend. Offensively, theFalcons nabbed an electric runner in Tevin Colemanand selected the ultra-quick Justin Hardy to wreak havoc from the slot. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000490685/article/2015-nfl-draft-falcons-jets-among-teams-that-got-faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybird56 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hardy's going to be a special cat in the slot catching passes from Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Weird seeing Hardy labeled ultra-quick. More smooth and deceptive in movements than anything. He's so good at getting open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedBlack&Red Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I think I'm undervalued Harvey. I need to do some research because this guy is all I'm hearing about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RING OF HONOR Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Just incredible at getting openAgree...not ultra quick..not very fast...but seems to always create separation...I like the pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gHost83 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hardy has mitts for hands. 10" hands is pretty ridiculous for a receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazoo Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 "Weird seeing Hardy labeled ultra-quick. More smooth and deceptive in movements than anything. He's so good at getting open."Agree. Jerry Rice ran the 40 yard dash in 4.59 seconds, but the dude clearly knew how to get open. There are some guys that just have a knack at getting open past that 3rd down marker, and Hardy is definitely one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki46dinah Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I think I'm undervalued Harvey. I need to do some research because this guy is all I'm hearing about.He has some **** sticky hands...think Darius Johnson but bigger, stronger, quicker, and overall faster.Hopefully not the attitude though(or whatever Johnson's issue was/is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have much better success catching the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Doktor Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Running great routes is the biggest key into getting open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gHost83 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Man Hardy might be the best blocker in this WR class. He constantly walling off corners and safeties and actually pancakes some of these dudes. Plenty of tape of him doing that out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoundBred Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Justin Hardy had the best 3 cone time at the combine this year. I'd say that makes him pretty quick. I think he can have the kind of immediate impact out of the slot that Jarvis Landry had last year, only he won't have as many targets.
