CanadianFan Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 He's been reported missing since May 30th... has a history of violent incidents.... http://www.news-sentinel.com/news/local/updated_investigators_identify_dead_man_found_in_maumee_as_former_elmhurst_standout_james_hardy_20170608?profile=1008 Any memories of the guy as a bill?
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 .....just a terribly sad tale for this young man.....gone so early .......RIP JH.......glad Buffalo gave him a chance................
Jerry Jabber Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 It's a shame, he was still a young guy. RIP James
145B4IDIE Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Met him at camp. tall dude had high hopes. for him. Signed a cap for me which needs a better spot now. May he rest in peace.
Rico Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Wow...Awful... I have to admit to being a HUGE advocate of that Draft pick at the time...I watched a few Indiana games and was convinced he was going to be a real good Red Zone threat in the NFL for years...I was shocked he busted so badly... RIP Me too. He should've been entering the 10th year of a productive career in the NFL. Just imagine if at least half of the many busts the Bills have drafted during the drought actually panned out. RIP JH.
Buffalo86 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I know this is bad and may he RIP but the first thing that came to my mind when I read this was the story about how he pulled a gun on his dad CBF You're not alone; I thought of the same thing when someone posted "I hope his family can find peace." Hey, see you in Hell!
frogger Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I sat in the corner of the end zone when he caught that game winning TD against Jacksonville, I actually remember hearing his feet tap in, I truly thought he was going to have a good if not great career.

RIP James. History of violence you say? Wonder if it has anything to do with CTE?
Augie Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 One more sign of a troubled person. I get that it's not good, but it's still a sign of a bad state of mind. I try to judge a lot less that I probably used to judge.
Juice_32 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I sat in the corner of the end zone when he caught that game winning TD against Jacksonville, I actually remember hearing his feet tap in, I truly thought he was going to have a good if not great career. I was right there too, not quite that close but in the area. That was a memorable game, brutally hot. The memory of that TD and that day has stuck with me.
DC Tom Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Any memories of the guy as a bill? Didn't he have some sort of incident involving pointing a gun at someone? His father, maybe? I have a vague recollection of some sort of "Dude ain't quite right" story like that.
Blokestradamus Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 He always seemed to be destined for an untimely demise. For whatever reason, trouble seemed to follow him at every turn. I hope he's at peace with whatever demons he's been haunted by.
KRT88 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 never know what to say. 31 is just too young to die. I reflect back and I wasn't married yet at that age, I hadn't had my kids yet. James had a lot more to give and unfortunately he will never have that opportunity. Certainly as an NFL player was disappointing for the Bills but today that is secondary. Rest in peace and Gods speed James.
smuvtalker Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Count me among the many who were thrilled with his selection. My favorite(well only) football memory of him was that great end zone td from Edwards against the Jags. Prayers to him and his family. RIP James.
