Not sure he recognized that he had a blocker on that outside DB. Gotta figure he expected the CB to close off the sideline and he was just looking to bend and give himself space to make a move.
If he takes it to the sideline and the blocker isn't there, he's hemmed in with few options. At the catch, it looks like the DB has position on Hardman. But truth be told, he was pretty lazy there and let Hardman hook inside him and drive him out of the play.
I think I can see what he was thinking there. EDIT: From the end zone view there's another thought - think of how many times Kelce has cut against his momentum and left a dude holding his jock. He saw that guy in front of him and was maybe trying to do the same thing. He just didn't see James waiting to occupy that space.
