Versatile DB with proven production and ball-disruption upside
Will Hardrick is a 6-foot-1 defensive back who brings real game experience and steady production, with a career-best 2024 season at Miami of Ohio featuring 26 tackles, 11 solo stops, and four pass breakups in 11 games. He profiles as a physical, assignment-sound defender who can flash in coverage and finish plays, and his background as a former three-star prospect who also played wide receiver suggests useful ball skills and athletic versatility. The bigger fit question is availability: public reports indicate Hardrick died in May 2025, so any team evaluation is only relevant historically, not for current roster planning.
