It's looking as if the Buffalo Bills drafted a first-round talent with the first pick in Round 2.

Making Florida State's Keon Coleman the No. 33 overall selection, the Bills secure a prospect that experts say brings a physicality to the field of play. A seeming majority of social media reactions were in favor of Buffalo's choice.

Multiple accounts highlighted Coleman's freakish athletic ability, which makes up for his slow 40 time.

Pro Football Focus noted that Coleman was charged with only two drops over 87 targets in 2023.

ESPN's Mike Clay sees Coleman and the Bills as a perfect fit.

A+ landing spot for Keon Coleman. Immediate starter in a top offense.

NBC Sports analyst Chris Simms, a former NFL quarterback, referred to Coleman as a specimen.

The @BuffaloBills just got one of the most freaky specimens in the nfl draft. Keon Coleman has incredible route running ability. He is dangerous with the ball in his hands. And he has a chance to be the best 50/50 ball wr in the nfl with his size and jumping ability.

Robert Griffin III, a former No. 2 overall draft pick, called Coleman a "bully" for his style of play.

Keon Coleman from @FSUFootball is an ABSOLUTE BULLY on the field. He played basketball at Michigan State and it makes sense because when you throw him a jump ball he dunks on every DB he faces. #BillsMafia will love this guy and Josh Allen gets to help mold him. pic.twitter.com/40EEKHk7mQ

Bills' old-timer John Fina, a starting offensive lineman from the 1990s, claims to be a Coleman supporter since the college football season.

I am in the minority but having watched him quite a bit this year, I have liked him from the start.
Welcome Keon Coleman !
