6-4, 305-pound Hardison clocked unofficial 4.94 and 4.92 40-yard dash times, followed by an unofficial 4.65 in the 5-10-5 Short Shuttle and 7.29 in the 3-cone drill.
His 3-cone time would have placed him in the top 10 among the defensive linemen performers at the Combine, while his 40-yard dash performance would have placed him among the top 22.

Hardison said scouts at his Pro Day put him through a wide variety of position drills, lining him up at 0-technique, 3-technique and 5-technique.
“I experienced all of the positions because I’m versatile,” Hardison said. “And me going into the Senior Bowl, they threw my primary position to the 3-tech. I took that and ran with it and competed. I ended up doing really, really well at it. A lot of teams see me at a 3-tech in the league.”
The senior draft analyst from CBS Sports and NFLDraftScout.com agreed.
“I think Hardison projects as a 3-technique defensive tackle in a 4-3 alignment,” Rang said. “His burst, his general athletic ability I think lends to him being a penetrating type of defensive tackle. He’s strong enough to be able to hold up, but I don’t think that’s really his game. I think he is a guy who is going to be drafted and expected to develop as an interior pass rusher.”
With two-time Pac-12 Defensive Lineman of the Year Will Sutton moving on to the Chicago Bears, however, Hardison stepped up his game significantly in 2014, exploding for 53 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and six turnovers (three forced fumbles, two interceptions and a fumble recovery). Much of that came over the second half of the season, including a career-high 13 tackle performance
