Keon Coleman

20-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Bills drafted Coleman with the 33rd overall pick this year, adding a new type of wide receiver to an offense that just lost Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis and had been left with Khalil Shakir and free-agent addition Curtis Samuel atop the depth chart. Coleman is the big body of the bunch at 6-3, 213, though a 4,61 40 time suggests he might not get behind defenses the way Davis often did. Coleman is otherwise a good athlete, as suggested by his 38-inch vertical jump, 127-inch broad jump and impressive play strength. It is, however, a bit unusual to see a wide receiver drafted this early with a subpar 40 time and less-than-dominant college production. Coleman put up 58-798-7 as a true sophomore at Michigan State and was widely expected to go ham after transferring to FSU, but his junior year was a disappointment apart from 11 TDs, as he caught only 51 of 87 targets for 658 yards. He thus figures to be a polarizing prospect, especially after landing in a top-notch situation with a franchise QB on a WR-needy team. Coleman is young for his draft class, turning 21 in May, and the disappointing junior season doesn't negate that he outproduced Jayden Reed at MSU as a 19-year-old sophomore in 2022. While unlikely to ever be a top separator, Coleman may be able to get it done with size, strength, tackle-breaking and reliable hands. Read Past Outlooks
Buffalo bound to start Round 2
WRBuffalo Bills
April 26, 2024
The Bills selected Coleman in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 33rd overall.
ANALYSIS
Buffalo came into Round 2 desperately needing a receiver and had several options available. Ultimately, it landed on Coleman, a big-bodied target out of Florida State and a polarizing prospect among draft analysts. His production was mediocre in 2023 apart from 11 TDs, with 7.3 yards per target and a 55 percent catch rate despite playing in an efficient FSU offense. A 4.61 40 didn't help his draft stock, but that's doesn't mean Coleman can't play -- he outproduced Jayden Reed in 2022 as a 19-year-old sophomore at Michigan State. Coleman is at his best when he's playing above the rim and using his 6-foot-3 frame and 38-inch vertical to box out smaller defenders. That profile was much-needed in Buffalo after the team lost both Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis this offseason. Coleman projects as a starter right away for the Bills, and while he lacks explosive speed, he complements a position group that otherwise features quicker, smaller wideouts like Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel.

High expectations in rookie season
WRBuffalo Bills
May 11, 2024
Coleman noted Saturday that he is aware of the expectations surrounding him and the Bills this season, saying "the hype can be there all it wants, but I still have to make plays on the field," Tim Graham of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After trading four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs to Houston and losing Gave Davis to the Jaguars in free agency, Buffalo used its first pick of the 2024 NFL Draft to select Coleman in the second round, 33rd overall. Coleman has already generated buzz among Bills fans with his comments during his pre-draft interview and introductory press conference, and the Florida State product's 6-foot-3, 213-pound frame and big-catch ability will make him a go-to target for quarterback Josh Allen. With Diggs and Davis gone, Coleman is set to be a top playmaker in the Bills' offense alongside running back James Cook and pass catchers Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel and Dalton Kincaid.
