Keon Coleman 2024 NFL Draft Scouting Report
Strengths:
- Tall long rangy wide receiver with smooth athleticism and strong ball skills who predominantly lined up outside
- Used size and length effectively to make tough contested hands catches and to attack and highpoint the ball
- Made some highlight one-handed catches at times going above the rim to track and catch poorly thrown balls
- Smooth fluid strider when he had free access off the ball, Covered ground quickly and easily with stride length
- Loose body for his size which showed up both in his route running and run after catch with make-you-miss
Weaknesses:
- Must be more consistent making tough contested catches, Must be a strength of his game give size and length
- Hands need to be more consistent making touch catches, Didn’t hold on to enough balls versus good coverage
- Body control not what it needed to be given size and the fact that contested catches must be part of his game
- More measured and methodical in his overall movement, Not sudden or explosive; Lacks true vertical speed
- Relies more on size and stride length on vertical routes, Will not get on top of many corners at the next level
- More straight-line than change of direction quick, Will need to run specific routes: Verticals, overs, crossers
NFL Transition:
My sense is Coleman will be somewhat polarizing as teams project and transition him to the NFL, He possesses excellent size and length which allowed him at times with free access to cover ground quickly into his vertical stem and attack the intermediate and vertical levels of the coverage but he is not sudden in his movement and his overall play speed would be described as average with no real burst or second gear, There were times he showed excellent hands with the ability to snatch the ball away from his frame and to make tough contested catches both on the sideline and the middle of the field including some special highlight-type grabs but there were too many throws in which he dropped the ball in traffic and those are the kinds of crowded environment catches he must consistently make.
The question with Coleman is whether he can line up at boundary x in the NFL and win one-on-one matchups consistently, His size and overall traits profile would strongly suggest that boundary x especially on the back side of trips would be his most favorable transition position at the next level but there would be definite concerns re: his ability to win individual matchups, My sense is there is more to unlock with Coleman and there is no question that there is a looseness within his body that is there to be developed but it will likely take some time (and it may not happen) as he makes the transition to the NFL, Can his size help compensate for some of his athletic limitations and get him on the field early in his career as a specific kind of receiver
Other Notes:
Coleman spent one year at Florida State after transferring from Michigan State, Coleman was initially a 4-star recruit coming out of Louisiana
