OVERALL

Keon Coleman is a throwback X receiver.

Physicality and ball skills are the name of the game for Coleman. At 6'4" and 215 pounds, he always has his way with defensive backs. He excels at fighting through press at the line of scrimmage, as well as using his length and strength to buy space at the top of route breaks. Coleman is even a pretty chippy blocker.

Coleman also leverages that strength when it comes to playing the ball in the air. His ball skills are special. He does an excellent job jostling for positioning with defensive backs before going up for the ball.

When it comes time to get vertical, Coleman knows exactly how to track and pluck the ball at its highest point. He also has the strength to finish and come down with the ball almost every time. He is a real weapon in the red zone and other "gotta have it" situations.

As a route-runner, Coleman clears the bar. His speed is nothing special, but it's enough to consistently threaten a vertical route tree given his ball skills. Coleman also shows moments of good flexibility and explosion for a player his size. There are moments where he can take too many steps to gather himself, such as on curls and comebacks, but it's not a detrimental issue given his other skills.

Coleman also rocks with the ball in his hands. His raw blend of size and speed is threatening enough, nevermind that Coleman also has a little more wiggle to him than most 210-plus-pound receivers.

For teams looking for a top target outside the numbers, he fits the bill. Coleman's physicality and ball skills give him a high floor, and he has just enough pop down the field and with the ball in his hands to be a real difference-maker.
