For you guys who want Cobb or any upgrade in the slot, Justin Hardy is a player to keep an eye on. Much will depend on his 40 time when it comes to what round he'll be drafted. I'd take him in the 3rd.
Quote:
ECU senior WR Justin Hardy caught 15 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 54-46 loss to Cincinnati.
Quarterback Shane Carden threw the ball Hardy's way on almost every possession. The senior receiver made several impressive leaping catches, showing his ability to wrestle with defenders in the air. Hardy is just 6-foot, but he shows excellent body control and an ability to come down with jump balls, as he did on a 31-yard pass in the third quarter. He also caught an 18-yard touchdown out of the slot in the fourth quarter on a scrambling throw by Carden. Hardy feels comfortable catching balls over the middle, a trait that could make him a valuable slot receiver at the next level.
