Hardison, a fourth-round pick out of Arizona State, started out playing the three technique but when right end Michael Johnson went down with an MCL sprain the third day of camp Hardison moved to end and is playing both. The 6-3, 315-pound Hardison had been viewed as a project inside, but he’s responded well to playing both.
“He’s a great athlete, big kid, his future looks bright,” Guenther said. “It’s OK (he’s playing both.) The more they understand the better. Playing on the D-line is not all that complicated. Know where you have to be and he’s doing a good job with that.”
I have said all along that I liked Hardison, but that he needed a yaer to get bigger and stronger (especially his base) in order to play DT. Looks like he might get a shot to get some snaps earlier at DE.
