One of the biggest winners of the 2024 NFL Draft is Keon Coleman, who got selected by the Buffalo Bills No. 33 overall.
Coleman, a standout wide receiver at Florida State, was one of the most athletic players in the draft as he had several highlight-reel grabs in his final year in college.
Now, Coleman gets the chance to play alongside Josh Allen, who desperately needed another alpha option in the passing game after the team traded away Stefon Diggs earlier in the offseason.
The Bills also lost Gabe Davis in free agency to the Jacksonville Jaguars, exacerbating their need for a wideout.
Coleman might not be the most smooth route runner or fastest downfield guy, but he’s got great athletic traits and a catch radius that should help Allen when scrambling out of pressure.
The rookie wideout seems to already be enjoying his new home and shouted out the fans, via Robert Griffin III’s podcast.
“Winning…Playing with Josh Allen and interacting with Bills Mafia. We got the best fans in the country. I ain’t lie, I hope they let me jump through a table,” Coleman said.

Coleman’s certainly got an infectious personality and a way of making people lighten up, but it’s apparent he’s excited about his new opportunity to play a role for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
Bills Mafia has been looking to get over the hump in the postseason against the Kansas City Chiefs, and Coleman will need to reach his potential if he hopes to give the fans what they’ve been desperately waiting for.
