BUF • WR • #0
Coleman (6’3/213) began his collegiate career as a two-sport player for Michigan State. He was used sparingly as a football freshman but went straight onto the court after the season ended, appearing in six games for the basketball team. In his second season, Coleman led the Spartans with 56 catches for 798 yards and seven scores. Coleman then transferred to Florida State for his final season and crossed the 30 percent college dominator threshold, which he narrowly missed out on in 2022. He caught 50 balls for 658 yards and 11 scores. Coleman’s basketball background is readily apparent on tape. Not much of a separator, Coleman attacks contested passes and has no problem leveraging his frame to box out weaker corners. Still, for as much of a part of his game as contested targets are, you wish he had caught more than a third of his contested looks in his final season. He made it clear that he won’t be blowing by defenders in the NFL with his 4.61 40-yard dash at the Combine. Without top-notch speed, Coleman may be stuck in a big slot role in the pros despite having the size of a prototypical X receiver. For what it’s worth, Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reports Coleman was the wideout Josh Allen wanted at the end of Round 1/beginning of Round 2.
