Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen circled Keon Coleman as a prospect of interest pre-draft. Here's why.
The idea of quarterback Josh Allen having a say in the construction of the Buffalo Bills’ roster isn’t all that shocking—the offense, after all, will only go as far as he can take it.
There were obvious elements to like about Coleman as a prospect—the 6-foot-3 target has an immense catch radius and is an obvious red-zone threat, this demonstrated by his 11 receiving touchdowns at Florida State last season. He also has remarkable play speed, It wasn’t his obvious physical attributes that piqued Allen’s interest, however—it was what Coleman does when he’sthe primary read on a play that impressed the passer most. The veteran signal-caller broke down what drew him to Coleman during a recent appearance on“I think if you looked at him not just when he was getting targets, but when he wasn’t getting targeted, when he was running clear out routes, when he was going and blocking and actually taking it personal,” Allen said.
“But again, just the dog, the tenacity that he had at Florida State and at Michigan State, I think that his Michigan State film was pretty dang good, too. His ability to adjust mid-air and catch some of these back shoulders, obviously a basketball background. I was very excited that Beane trusted me and trusted his instincts there and gave us that type of weapon, because he’s definitely a pretty special athlete.
