Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had significant praise for rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman following his team's Week 8 win.
Rookies are generally expected to grow more comfortable and adapt to a new caliber of competition throughout their debut campaigns, but the rapid development seen from Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman over the past two weeks was perhaps unanticipated.
It wasn’t as though he had played poorly through the first six games of his professional career, leading Buffalo’s wideouts in snaps as he caught 12 passes for 201 yards and two scores. He’s ascended to national prominence over the past two weeks, however, reeling in four passes for 125 yards in his team’s Week 7 win over the Tennessee Titans before catching another five balls for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Bills’ Week 8 thrashing of the Seattle Seahawks.
After an offseason in which national pundits questioned Buffalo’s draft-day decision to pass up on several talented wideouts in favor of a raw player like Coleman, it’s encouraging to see the rookie’s impact growing this quickly into his professional career. As Allen notes, he only figures to improve as he further develops and acclimates to the professional level, which doesn’t bode particularly well for defenses across the league.
