Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott was complimentary of rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman following his NFL preseason debut.

Though several prognosticators viewed wide receiver Keon Coleman as a generally raw prospect in the lead-up to the 2024 NFL Draft, there hasn’t looked to be too significant of a learning curve for the rookie as he’s adjusted to the professional level.

The rookie doesn’t necessarily look like a tenured veteran, but he appears to be a bit more polished than initially advertised, which has a contingent of the Buffalo faithful optimistic that the 21-year-old can be a more significant immediate contributor than initially anticipated. He hasn’t looked out of place when practicing with the first team, something that was again true in the Bills’ 2024 preseason opener as he took reps with the offensive starters.

He caught one pass in Buffalo’s preseason loss to the Chicago Bears, an eight-yard chain-moving completion from Mitchell Trubisky in the second quarter. He received an additional two targets later that drive in the end zone; he had to jar the first from the hands of Jaylon Johnson , and the other saw him get tripped up as he struggled to create significant separation against Jaylon Jones.

“I thought he looked comfortable,” McDermott said. “I thought he looked like it wasn’t too big for him, and that’s part of being a young player and adjusting. That didn’t surprise me, though, because he’s been taking things in stride that way. You see him out at practice every day, he’s executed, made some big-time plays.

Praise of Coleman’s comfort within the offense is encouraging, as it could indicate that McDermott and company will not shy away from putting a potentially significant workload on his shoulders this fall. His usage in Saturday’s loss could also signal his potential immediate role; the wideout, who caught 11 touchdowns at Florida State last season, seeing two of his three targets in the end zone is, to say the least.
