"Hardy will never be the best athlete at the position, but he’s a well-developed and proven route runner who is simply always open and rarely drops a pass or makes a mistake. Top notch technique and footwork allow him to constantly gain separation in the short-to-intermediate levels of the field, while savvy elusiveness and lower body strength allow Hardy to make plays after the catch with the ball in his hands. He’s a tireless worker off the field, with outstanding maturity and leadership marks that carry over into a non-stop, driven demeanor on the field." - Jon Ledyard, ProFootballSpot.com

 "A legitimate big-time prospect based on his performance, production and skills. Hardy has been used in a variety of roles by the Pirates, lining up in the slot and out wide. Hardy's speed and quickness make him a tough matchup on the outside, but the Pirates will also go to him on an assortment of screens and quick passes designed to get him the ball in space. He also broke Ryan Broyles' FBS career receptions record although he joined ECU originally as a walk-on." - Bucky Brooks, NFL.com
