The Jacksonville Jaguars picked Kevin Hardy with the second pick in the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft. He rapidly established himself as a star performer with the Jaguars, displaying his incredible speed and tackling skills.
Hardy was renowned for his vicious style of play and his capacity for covering space during his NFL tenure. He was a key contributor to the Jaguars' defensive stinginess, helping them get to the postseason and perform at an elite level.
Hardy was signed by the Cowboys as an unrestricted free agent in April 2002, however, he only played for them for one season before moving on to the Bengals the following season.
Before his contract was canceled following the 2004 season, Hardy played a crucial role in the team's defense for two seasons.
With 563 solo stops, 43.5 tackles for loss, 36 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries, 45 pass deflections and one score in 134 games, Hardy had a stellar career.
