For Pete's Sake

Chiefs receiver/hunter Mecole Hardman killed a massive feral hog

It’s still weeks before training camp opens, but when the Chiefs gather to begin their Super Bowl defense, wide receiver Mecole Hardman will have a heck of a hunting story to share.

Hardman went in the woods last week with former Georgia linebacker Ryne Rankin, and the two killed one really big hog.

The two hunters shared photos on Twitter of the pig, and Rankin boasted: “I can say I’m officially faster than the Jet, @MecoleHardman4 (in the woods, mud, and briars), but I was able to teach an old dog new tricks! Let’s do it again soon buddy!”

Here are some of the photos of the hog:

No word on how much the animal weighed, but Hardman could get a decent workout by just keeping that hog on his shoulders.
