There has been a good amount of storylines surrounding the Buffalo Bills this offseason, and one in particular is about their first draft selection from a year ago in wide receiver Keon Coleman.
After a promising start to his rookie season, he suffered a wrist injury that kept him out for a few weeks and he lost the momentum that he had built up. He finished the 2024 season with 556 yards and 4 touchdowns, which isn’t too bad. However, the Bills are hoping that he can grow from that performance.
Coleman has been credited for his work that he has done this offseason, with both his coaches and teammates speaking out about how much work he has put in heading into this season. We’ve heard it all the way from OTAs to now approaching Week 1 of the regular season.

This is just another testament to what people are seeing from Coleman up to this point. The former Florida State wideout was drafted by the Bills to bring some size to the receiver room. He has proven that he can make some tough catches, but there were some concerns about his separation ability.
Luckily, he has the span to win those 50/50 jump balls should he ever be in that kind of situation. It’s great to see that his teammates are excited to see what Coleman can hopefully bring to the Bills this season.
Even with the signings of Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore, Coleman still has a high ceiling and now that he has one year under his belt, his second season could be a special one with the MVP throwing him the ball.
