Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins wanted wide receiver Keon Coleman's signed cleats following their team's Week 8 win. Here's why.
Blocks and general physicality rarely earn wide receivers spots on highlight reels, but Keon Coleman’s third-quarter block in the Buffalo Bills’ Week 8 win over the Seattle Seahawks was too comical not to gain national notoriety.
To set the stage: the rookie wide receiver was lined up against Seattle cornerback Josh Jobe on a play designed for third-year contributor Khalil Shakir. The play saw the wideout motion into the backfield and receive a quick pass behind the line of scrimmage, with Coleman’s responsibility being to block his assignment; he not only effectively controlled the defender, but he pushed him out of bounds and deep onto the Buffalo sideline, literally pushing the defensive back into the bench.
Dion Dawkins says this win will be known as the "Bench Game" for Keon Coleman blocking a DB into the bench.Coleman’s blocking ability and effort in the run game are part of what made him attractive to Buffalo in the pre-draft process, and he’s flashed his prowess in this facet of the game time and time again throughout his first eight bouts as a professional.
