Not understanding the Keon Coleman hype at all (1 Viewer)

Yeah his speed test results, combined with tape concern confirmations, have turned me off to him.

Fourth round prospect.

He doesn't have speed concerns. Reliance on the 40 as the only measure of speed is archaic. Here's his speed while actually running routes, they're among the highest in this class.

If serious lol speed during the 40, combine stuff, not in pads. Not football speed. Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane.

I figure you're kidding tho.

I'm not. So it's literal underwear speed?

Just the way folks describe running at the combine and such. Not speed in pads, not football speed.

While I’d love to Coleman, this is all a moot point unless we trade up. He won’t make it to 45

Wouldn't surprise me if he isn't the first or second guy picked tonight.
Wouldn't surprise me if he is there at 45.
Wouldn't surprise me if Saints make a small trade up if he is there past 40.

He’s now a Buffalo Bill.

This all may be academic... Coleman might be the 1st or 2nd player to come off the board tonight.

Yep

Is it because he is a big physical receiver from Louisiana? Why is he rated so high by you guys and others?

I have a hard time believing he will make an impact in the NFL due to his slow release and speed. Everything I've seen on him has MAJOR concerns and yet folks here wants him to be Michael Thomas replacement. He is slower than Mike Thomas and I worry he can get legit separation in the NFL.

I liked Wilson Better he seems like a great TE convert runs routes well

I dunno which one it was but pretty close to first or second.

Yep
