Packers Make 5-Word Announcement About Chiefs’ Super Bowl Hero
The Green Bay Packers have struggled to find a star wide receiver for quite some time., as they haven’t had one reach at least 1,000 yards in a single season since Davante Adams last did in 2021 with 1,553. In an attempt to bring in some more competition entering the 2025 season, the team has brought in wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who spent last season as a part of the Kansas Chiefs. In his six-year career, Hardman has made some impressive achievements, including being named to one Pro Bowl and winning three Super Bowls, all with the Chiefs. On Thursday, the Packers announced the move with a social media post captioned, “Welcome to the squad, Mecole!” Welcome to the squad, Mecole! — Green Bay Packers (@packers) March 20, 2025 It will remain to be seen if Hardman can bounce back in 2025 because his production was severely limited last season, appearing in 12 games with zero starts, accumulating just 12 receptions, 90 yards, and zero touchdowns. However, he has proven to be a good option in big moments as he had the game-winning three-yard catch in the Chiefs’ overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII
Hardman does have the opportunity to make an immediate impact with the Packers, though as he could fill in for Christian Watson, who tore his ACL during Green Bay’s Week 18 loss to the Chicago Bears.
He could also take over as the return man, where he’s seen success in his career, with 134 total kick and punt returns with 1,892 yards and two touchdowns. Related: Vikings Predicted to Sign Pro Bowl QB After Aaron Rodgers Decision Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Packers’ interest in Shemar Stewart couldn’t be clearer after Top 30 visit
Expect the unexpected at this stage of the offseason. Well, unless we’re talking about the Green Bay Packers.
When it comes to draft prospects, the Packers are hilariously predictable. But it’s not a bad thing. Brian Gutekunst follows in the footsteps of Ted Thompson and Ron Wolf when evaluating talent, and “The Packer Way” works.
Gutekunst prioritizes athleticism and elite traits and is willing to overlook college production.
The Packers also value premium positions, which explains why Gutekunst has used six of his nine first-round choices at quarterback, cornerback, and edge-rusher. He could do the same this offseason.

Rashan Gary only made 10.5 sacks across three seasons at Michigan, but the Packers valued his athleticism, pass-rush traits, and All-Pro upside. Lukas Van Ness? The same story. He never started a game for Iowa and made 6.5 sacks as a sophomore, but the Packers believed he could develop into a star.
Whether you agree or disagree with the Packers’ approach, this is how they operate. And it makes it easier to identify their potential targets.
Packers’ meeting with possible first-rounder Shemar Stewart confirms what every fan thought
Packers fans identified Texas A&M edge-rusher Shemar Stewart as a classic Gutekunst target early in the offseason. The Packers confirmed it by hosting Stewart at Lambeau Field for a Top 30 visit. He posted a picture on his Instagram account.
