Keon Coleman Calls His Rookie Tape ‘Trash’

I was quite high on Keon Coleman coming out of Florida State last draft cycle. Not that I expected sunshine and rainbows as a rookie, given the skillset and his young age, but we didn’t exactly get a ton of big time production.

Coleman isn’t shying away from all of it. He called his rookie tape ‘trash’ and is confident he will be improved heading into his second NFL season.

“You want to know exactly what I see? Man, that shit trash – you’ve got to be better,” Coleman told reporters when asked about his rookie film at Bills minicamp this week. “It’s simple as that. You’ve got to be more efficient here. You’ve got to get out of this break. You’ve got to stack your DB.

“You’ve got to give Josh (Allen) more room to throw the ball. You’ve got to catch that. You’ve got to make that block. You’ve got to give that extra effort on the touchdown block, so if (James Cook) breaks it, he’s up the sideline. Just different things like that. Calling out everything that you’re doing wrong to make it right.”

Coleman, 22, posted 29 receptions, 556 receiving yards, and four touchdowns as a rookie. In 13 games, the positive is that he averaged a whooping 19.2 yards per reception. There’s definitely something to build upon, and the former Florida State product has the right mentality heading into season number two.

“I’m self-motivated. I come here every day to work,” Coleman said. “This is a job, but to me it’s more. It’s a hobby and a profession. So, it’s something I love to do, and I don’t need nobody to hit me on the back to make me go even harder. I’m coming with it from the jump.”
