At the NFL Scouting Combine, general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills evaluated a number of prospects. But some people were surprised by their meeting with former Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman.
Coleman may be chosen by them with their No. 28 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. “Ultimately, Coleman is going to be a risky prospect — it’s not a flawless, clean profile — but the positives are obvious from his tape,” Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus predicted before of the Combine.
The 20-year-old receiver has the ability to make incredible receptions, but he struggles with separation and consistency. “His evaluation has a number of red flags that will have draft experts and NFL teams scratching their heads,” Monson speculated.
“We had a great interview,” Coleman said of his meeting with the Bills to reporters in Indianapolis. Having been named to the All-ACC First Team the previous season, Coleman feels he may improve Josh Allen’s performance as quarterback for the Bills. Allen, in his opinion, “needs” him.
Coleman remarked, “I think Allen has the strongest arm in the league.” “I can go out there and get it, and he needs someone to test that arm so he can throw it as far as he can.”
Coleman was asked which quarterback he would most like to catch touchdowns from in a different interview. He spoke to Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs as “the greatest in the game right now,” but he didn’t have to ask to mention Allen. Josh Allen, without doubt. He is a skilled ball thrower. Whoa!
