Thinking about giving him some Offensive snaps apparently.
Lot of chatter in the press that CJF is thinking about playing Hardy on Offense.

Always wondered why they’ve never used him on offense. Kid was a pretty dynamic weapon in High School.
The chatter was addressed last week in detail. Not sure it will happen?
Not saying that it was my idea.....but I had not seen it anywhere until I posted it as a question as to why not?
Hardy surprised me with his quickness on the punt returns....he seems quicker/twitchier than any of our WRs.

Would love to see him, Singleton, and Ethan Black(run on with 4.3 speed) all out wide and going deep in the first drive or two. Force the D to play back. Open up,the running game.
Like @Obliviax always says….on third and long throw it sixty yards. If it is intercepted …no worse than a punt.

Yeah I believe I liked that comment. With some work, he could potentially be a dangerous slot receiver for sure. I guess only time will tell if anything comes of it.
You're right, he may not have much time. He would have to be a quick learner. I believe he is a fifth year senior?<
Am sure he would love a shot. Would certainly help his draft status if he burns a couple deep TDs onto tape.
I'd think he could be a good situational player with his experience. It seems like the light bulb flipped on a bit brighter this year imo...
I think it's goofy when coaches address these types of questions like "yeah, it's super complicated so it probably won't happen" yet we saw this staff try it with Marquis Wilson in '21, a considerably less talented player who they gimmicked jet sweeps for among a few downfield targets.
If I recall correctly they tried Wilson on offense during spring practice and into the regular season not 3/4 of the way through the season.

He recorded offensive and defensive stats in 2 games. I think I remember the talk about spring practice.
Plays for Hardy.
1) Fly pattern
2) WR Screen
3) jet sweep
4) fake jet sweep

Not really if it's only a handful of offensive play calls. If they were going to do it, it would make sense that they first implemented it over several weeks of practice and might not show it at all prior to scUM.
