After going undefeated throughout the regular season, former Florida State standout wide receiver Keon Coleman lit up defenses across the nation and helped the Seminoles win the 2023 ACC Championship.
Coleman has been the focus of attention since before he was selected as the 33rd overall choice by the Buffalo Bills in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The one and only season he spent in Tallahassee saw him lead the team in receiving yards (658) and touchdowns (11).

His charming demeanor and endearing extracurricular activities have won over many in Buffalo and around the nation. He now trash-talks opposing defensive backs who are positioned in front of him in a different way.
In a recent interview, Rasul Douglas, the cornerback for the Bills, said of Coleman, “Yeah, he talks a lot.” “But he’s funny. Let him tell you some stories, please. The other day he was telling us a story and we were like, “Bro, where do you come up with this stuff?” He’s entertaining, even if I have no idea what he watches or reads on TV.”
Wide receivers and defensive backs frequently engage in jarring back-and-forth playmaking, which is a strategy used to get inside another player’s head in the hopes of snagging a rival error. However, you wouldn’t often expect to hear a stand-up act while listening to the snap count.
When Douglas, an eight-year NFL veteran who signed with the Bills in 2023, first saw Coleman on the field, he appeared almost shocked and laughed at Coleman’s antics in between the hashes.
Still, it’s humorous. He’s not even insulting you in a negative way. He was simply joking around, and you were like, ‘Bro, what?’ He’s just one of those guys, then. He’s a cool guy, though.
Coleman’s press appearances and his much awaited rookie year will probably keep him in the news for years to come.
On August 10 at 1:00 p.m., the Bills will play their first preseason game against the Chicago Bears. Keep an eye out for Coleman and Douglas.
