Bleacher Report predicts record-breaking year for Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Every Buffalo Bills fan, player, and coach seems to already be infatuated with rookie receiver out of Florida State, Keon Coleman.

The first pick of the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft became an instant hit with the media during his introductory press conference, and even made fans excited when he chose No. 0 for his jersey number. 

Fans became even more excited seeing him catch passes from Josh Allen for the first time during OTAs. And while we all hope for big things right away from Coleman, one analyst is projecting a massive year for the rookie.

Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report predicted that Coleman will catch 80 passes for 1,016 yards and a staggering 10 touchdowns

"If Keon Coleman clicks with quarterback Josh Allen as well as he does with the camera during public appearances, he's going to be a star," Moton wrote.

"Though Coleman enters the league as a second-round pick, he will have plenty of opportunities to establish himself as the Buffalo Bills' No. 1 wide receiver. The Bills traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, which frees up about 150-plus targets in the aerial attack."

The Bills have never had a rookie receiver go over 1,000 yards in a season. The current record holder is Sammy Watkins with 982 yards in 2014.

Buffalo enters the season with six new receivers, and Coleman could be getting the biggest share of the targets in the new-look offense.
