Entering the highly anticipated 2024 NFL Draft, a surplus of promising wide receivers graced the draft boards, making it arguably the most stacked class at the position in NFL history.
Among the standout prospects were Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze, each boasting their own unique skill sets and potential.
Following the surprising trade of their star wideout Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, the Buffalo Bills found themselves facing a significant void in their receiving corps. This gap was further emphasized by the departure of Gabe Davis in NFL free agency, who opted to join the Jacksonville Jaguars.
When the Bills’ turn arrived in the second round of the draft, they wasted no time in addressing their pressing need, selecting Keon Coleman from Florida State University. Coleman, poised to make an immediate impact, now has the opportunity to showcase his talents as a potential starter for the Bills in the upcoming 2024 NFL season.
Regarded as one of the premier rookie receivers in this draft class, Coleman recently caught attention not only for his catching abilities but also for his surprising prowess as a quarterback during a photoshoot. Displaying remarkable versatility, Coleman impressed observers with his arm strength and accuracy, as noted by Dov Kleiman.

While Mitchell Trubisky holds the backup position behind the acclaimed quarterback Josh Allen, Coleman is poised to challenge him with his impressive arm strength, evident in his powerful throws.
The Bills strategically recruited Coleman to step into the shoes left by Diggs, a formidable task in Buffalo’s football legacy.
As the 2024 NFL season unfolds, it remains to be seen if Coleman proves to be the perfect fit for the Bills’ receiving needs, anticipating numerous opportunities to showcase his skills on the field.
