Profile

Summary:A stone-cold TD maker, Coleman was heavily targeted in Baylor's high-flying offense and he made defenses pay often. Explosive traits (speed, leaping ability) and good body control allow Coleman to challenge defenses deep down the field and his agility and knack for making tacklers miss make him lethal in the screen game and as a punt returner. * *

Scout Speak:An excerpt from his NFL.com Scouting Profile says Coleman is an "instant blur off the snap. Feet turn over at a blinding pace and he devours cushion before cornerbacks know what hit them. Able to get over the top of every corner he faced and demands safety help over the top.

Stacking Up: Coleman is universally placed among the top tier of WRs in this year's class along with Josh Doctson, Michael Thomas and Laquon Treadwell. Of the NFL Media analysts, Charles Davis has Coleman going first in his mock draft while Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah each of Coleman going second in theirs.
