The Buffalo Bills weren’t overly concerned with Keon Coleman’s showing in the 40-yard dash, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Coleman posted a time of 4.61 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine, which was the second-slowest among the wideouts who took part. Fowler reported succinctly on SportsCenter that the Bills “really don’t care.”
“That’s considered slow, but this is a major athlete,” Fowler said. “I even saw the other day some of his basketball high school highlights. Crazy athlete. They believe his contested catch ability, his size, that Josh Allen just kind of tossing 30-40 yards down field he can muscle people, cornerbacks, and get those extra yards. They believe that they’ve got something here.”
Between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Coleman had 1,456 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns on 108 catches. A lot of college football fans may still remember his performance in Florida State’s season-opening win over LSU, when he finished with nine catches for 122 yards and three scores.
