Bills Rookie WR Keon Coleman Is Already Winning Everyone Over With His Childlike Enthusiasm

If Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman can produce on the field then the 20-year-old pass catcher seems like a shoo-in to become a star off of it.

After being drafted out of Florida State University by the Buffalo Bills with the first pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Friday, Coleman made his way up to Buffalo on Monday and took in his new surroundings like a little kid on Christmas.

“It’s very possible Keon Coleman is a 9-year old in the body of a Greek god,” one viral tweet said of Coleman in response to a video of him running across the Bills’ field at Hihhmark Stadium.

A video of Coleman having some fun with the Bills’ cryotherapy chamber has also picked up some steam:

Coleman made headlines with his hilarious introductory press conference, too, as he explained that he shops for his winter coats during the summertime “like his Momma.”

Coleman, just 20 years old, spent his first two college seasons at Michigan State University before transferring to Florida State in 2023. Last season at FSU, Coleman had 50 catches for 658 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Bills franchise QB Josh Allen is apparently a big fan of Coleman’s as he texted the young wideout prior to him being selected by the Bills to say that he wants to play together.

“He texted me the day of and was like, ‘You’re the guy I want. I watched a lot of receivers and I want to play with you,’” Coleman said to the Bills official website. “And I’ve been saying the same thing. I want to play with the guy that wears number 17. I think he’s a great quarterback, one of the best in the league right now and I would love to be catching passes from him. I’m ready for that.”

Coleman certainly has big shoes to fill in Buffalo as the team lost their top two wide receivers this offseason in Stefon Diggs (traded to the Texans) and Gabe Davis (signed with the Jaguars).
