COACH TUCKER ON COLEMAN:
“Keon is tall, long and has a good build for a wide receiver. He is a very smooth athlete and has a strong release off the ball. He gets open with speed, quickness, size, instincts and awareness. Keon has the athletic ability to out-jump defenders for the ball and he’s a natural and confident hands catcher with a wide-catch radius who can effortlessly adjust to passes outside his frame. His upside is through the roof.”
