Buffalo Bills Rookie WR Keon Coleman Ranked In Top 10 To Win Rookie of The Year
There are significant expectations for rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman, who was drafted by the Buffalo Bills with the first pick in the second round of the 2024 draft at number 33 overall. The departures of Bills primary wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, who accounted for a combined 241 targets, 152 catches, 1929 receiving yards, and 15 TDs in 2023, means there are significant opportunities available for Coleman.
Coleman had an explosive junior year at Florida State, leading the 2023 team in receptions (50), receiving yards (658), and touchdowns (11) and was the first FSU player to ever be selected as first-team All-ACC in three separate categories (all-purpose player, wide receiver, and returner). He finished his college career, with stops at Florida State and Michigan State, with 1506 yards and 19 touchdowns on 115 receptions.
Coleman's combination of athleticism, elite ball skills and a 6-foot-3 frame bring a unique blend of size, play speed, and physicality that make him a prototypical alpha wide receiver and ideal target for Josh Allen.
