Here is what personnel people told me before the NFL draft about the Buffalo Bills’ selections in the first three rounds.
KEON COLEMAN, WR, FLORIDA STATE
Rd. 2/Pk. 33.
Height: 6-3.
Weight: 213.
40: 4.59.
Hometown: Opelousas, La.
Wonderlic: 18
Fact/Stat: Played two seasons at Michigan State and one at FSU. Also played in five games for the Spartans’ basketball team as a freshman. Vertical jump of 38 inches.
NFC scout: “Great body control. Unbelievable hands. Great understanding of defenses. Loves the game of football. Receivers that ran slow include Keenan Allen, Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson, Davante Adams. He’s got as good if not better body control than those guys do. He just goes up and goes for it. This guy’s so talented as an athlete that he could have gone to Kansas and played basketball.”
