Florida State Wide Receiver Sends Interesting Message On Social Media

After limited targets in Week 3, one Florida State wide receiver sent a cryptic message on social media.

The Florida State Seminoles struggled in Week 3 against the Boston College Eagles. The team started the game off poorly, letting the Eagles see early success. However, the Seminoles bounced back and held a 31-10 lead late in the third quarter. This wouldn't hold, though.

The Seminoles' offense struggled to move the ball, and the Eagles then scored 19 unanswered points, threatening to take the game over. Florida State escaped with a 31-29 win, but there are questions to be answered before a Week 4 matchup against Clemson.

During the win, Jordan Travis threw for 212 yards, completing 15 of his 24 passes. The team didn't exactly throw all over Boston College. In the midst of this, Keon Coleman, who has gotten off to a hot start this season, received just three targets and was unable to catch a ball.

On top of this, Coleman also muffed a punt and had another close call on one. It wasn't exactly a good game for the star wide receiver.

On Monday morning, Coleman sent out a cryptic message via his Twitter account that can be deciphered in multiple ways.

The timing of this post is interesting. New York Jets running back Breece Hall tweeted out four football emojis, which was a knock on his four touches received in the team's Week 2 loss. Hall outwardly expressed his frustration about the touches. 

It appears Coleman posted the three football emojis with the same intent -- to express frustration about his targets.

"That's part of football sometimes. We don't ever go into a game and say 'we're not going to get this great player the ball' and when you look at it, there's a little bit of give and take," Mike Norvell said at his Monday presser. "We want to get our playmakers the ball and there were a few opportunities that we had and whether it's different things that we can do to make sure we're finishing those plays."

Evidently, teams understand Coleman's impact now. His big first couple weeks are on film and opponents are going to expect certain things from him, making it harder for him to repeat the process from weeks prior.

"We snapped the ball 58 times and he was targeted, I think it was three, four times, throughout the contest and unfortunately it didn't result in any catches but that's kind of part of it," Norvell said.

The Seminoles threw the ball just 24 times. Johnny Wilson caught four passes for 105 yards and Jaheim Bell had five catches for 76 yards. The team took what was given, and it resulted in success for those two players, but not for the rest of the receiving corps.

"You look at the week prior, Jaheim Bell didn't have a catch, we scored 66 points, Johnny Wilson didn't have a catch. Other guys took advantage of the opportunities," Norvell said. 

What's unique about Coleman is his versatility. He's quick and more than capable of jumping over defenders on big plays. He can run a short, quick route and take the ball for a huge gain. There are multiple ways to keep Coleman involved on a weekly basis. 

"Obviously, I got to do a good job of making sure, not to say force, but you want to make sure that those guys get active in the game and it's just one of those things that occurred," Norvell said. "There's a lot of plays where he is a primary option but if they give you something that's a little bit more clean or open...like I said, we scored on five of our first six drives so it wasn't like 'this was not working because we didn't get him the ball early' but ultimately, yes, we want to get all of our playmakers opportunities to do that."

Just because Coleman didn't particularly have a huge game, doesn't mean the pass game was non-existent. Of course, the Seminoles may have wanted more production, but both Wilson and Bell, as mentioned, had good games to make up for Coleman's lack of production.

"For what Johnny, I guess, lacked in production a week ago, he made up for it with a 100-yard receiving game this game. Jaheim Bell had a really big game so there's always going to be an ebb and flow in that," Norvell said."

Watching what Coleman's impact will be against Clemson next weekend will be huge, especially given his performance in the Week 1 win over LSU. 

"I thought Keon, his attitude, his approach, he's a real one. He's an absolute real ball player that wants to make an impact, he wants to have a big game," Norvell said. "He wants to help this team win and that's what makes him special. Definitely excited to see his continued growth, our continued growth, and it's the same thing with every player that we have."
