The tenacity of Keon Coleman

Another plus is that COleman is smart enough not to lose control and usually disengages very quickly.

Yeah, he’s definitely not a high strung guy. His demeanor at his draft press conference I think told us all we need to know about his personality. Chill and funny, seems like a genuine good dude. 

[ProcessImproverMan]

And at the same time is a dawg on the field who will stunt on those hoes and make the tough physical play when necessary. His ability to win contested passes and get some great YAC after out muscling guys is great. Dude may have a chill soft side that likes his Wegmans cookies a bit too much but he is a baller. Much better than Worthy imo. 

 

I think he will be a great number two for us for the future. His speed is the only issue which is why I see him as a top end number 2

No joke, his press conference at the combine was what first drove me to pull up his tape. A Bills beat reporter asked him how he would feel being drafted to be the #2 to Diggs (obviously before the trade) and in his response I saw an assured confidence and a real desire to be great. It sounds dumb when I type it out but I really saw something just in that response. Like he had this glimmer in his eye that told me he was all in. Then I watched him play and read his background and knew it was only a matter of time before he was imposing his will on NFL DBs.

Very pleased with 0 in his rookie season. His floor has been established. How far can he go?

 

So much RAC ability. It isn’t game braking but it is chain moving. Id like to see him finish some of the contested balls Allen is trusting him with. Overall it is encouraging seeing him contrubute in multiple ways at such an early point in his career

He doesn't just think he's badass.

He knows he's a badass.

My only regret is trading down from 32 to 33 to take him, gonna need that 5th year option haha. 

If this ends up being our problem, what a great pick!!

Found the clip (goes from 5:28-6:02):

 

 

Tell me if I'm crazy. This 30 second clip sold me on him before I had watched a single snap.

 

"When I do get the wheel, it's gonna be something crazy."

After what I watched these last 2 weeks, he doesn't need elite speed. He's an absolute dominator on jump balls, back shoulder etc.  And his specialty is what we saw at the combine.  Elite hands on crossing routes.

I told you his comp was Dez Bryant.  That's what I was hoping for.

 

His confidence is building.  

That’s a great comp he reminds me of Dez

I'm sorry why a #2? 

[harmonkillebrew]

He's a dog. That's what Josh said and why he wanted him.

Still can't separate, but he's a gamer for sure

On the offsetting personal foul calls, the only reason he drove the CB into the bench was bc the guy tried to drag him down out of bounds.  And Keon was like “oh, you want to keep this going?”

Agreed.

There were no flags until the CB shoved him after the play and Coleman walked away from it.

Then you're going to suddenly decide he should be penalized?

Horse#@*&.

[Bangarang]

He's performing better than I thought he would. You can't teach someone to be physical and win jump balls. You either can or you can't. If he can polish his route running then he can be a top tier WR. If Cooper finished the year strong then I wouldn't mind resigning him to a short term to give Keon more time to develop and eventually hand him the keys in 2 years.

Yeah seemed more like the two of them just careened out of bounds there was no malicious intention, the offsetting penalty was all about what instigated it but they didn't throw the flag at the time they decided to go back and decide it was a penalty which seems disingenuous there. They basically reinterpreted a moment because someone else got butt hurt and acted foolishly.

He’s gotten so much faster. 

How much is “much”

I think Beane might have hit a home run.

Just how savage can Coleman become? He's beginning to come into his own and bringing the full WR package with him. 

 

Looking forward to more of this... 

 

 

He definitely created some sEpArAtIoN here

Woolen was chirping early in the game and Keon wasn't going to have it.
