Bills' Keon Coleman: Team's leading receiver in debut
Keon Coleman caught four of five targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.Coleman led the team in targets and receiving yards in his NFL debut, but the rookie second-round pick was held out of the end zone while fellow Buffalo Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins both scored touchdowns. Most of Coleman's yardage came on a 28-yard contested catch in the fourth quarter, which got the ball down to the six-yard line and set up quarterback Josh Allen's second rushing touchdown of the game. Coleman and the Bills will have a short turnaround before facing the Dolphins in Miami on Thursday.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Extended run against Pittsburgh
Keon Coleman recorded one catch on three targets for 12 yards in Saturday's 9-3 preseason win over Pittsburgh.Coleman played with the first-team offense along with Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins, while Curtis Samuel didn't suit up. Coleman stayed on the field the longest of the trio, however, and finished second on the team with three targets. He has only two catches on six targets through two exhibition games, though many of those throws have come from Mitch Trubisky rather than Josh Allen.

Bills' Keon Coleman: One catch in preseason opener
Keon Coleman caught one of three targets for eight yards in Saturday's 33-6 preseason loss to the Bears.Coleman didn't make much of a splash in his NFL debut, with his lone catch coming on a pass thrown by backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Coleman worked in with the starting wide receivers, but Josh Allen's pair of first-quarter completions went to Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel. Coleman's expected to play a significant role as a rookie in a Buffalo Bills receiving corps that lost Stefon Diggs in the offseason, and the 2024 second-round pick out of Florida State will try to put forth a stronger showing in next Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Inks rookie deal with Buffalo
Keon Coleman signed a four-year rookie contract Wednesday, Alec White of the Buffalo Bills' official site reports.Coleman, selected 33rd overall in April, has a good chance to be the team's No. 1 or No. 2 receiver right out of the gate, as the Bills lack a proven guy in the entire wideout corps after trading away Stefon Diggs and not re-signing Gabe Davis during the offseason. The Bills now have all 10 of their 2024 picks signed to deals.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Buffalo bound to start Round 2
The Buffalo Bills selected Keon Coleman in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 33rd overall.Buffalo came into Round 2 desperately needing a receiver and had several options available. Ultimately, it landed on Coleman, a big-bodied target out of Florida State and a polarizing prospect among draft analysts. His production was mediocre in 2023 apart from 11 TDs, with 7.3 yards per target and a 55 percent catch rate despite playing in an efficient FSU offense. A 4.61 40 didn't help his draft stock, but that's doesn't mean Coleman can't play -- he outproduced Jayden Reed in 2022 as a 19-year-old sophomore at Michigan State. Coleman is at his best when he's playing above the rim and using his 6-foot-3 frame and 38-inch vertical to box out smaller defenders. That profile was much-needed in Buffalo after losing both Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis this offseason. Coleman projects as a starter right away for the Bills, and while he lacks explosive speed, he complements a position group that otherwise features quicker, smaller wideouts like Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel.
