Brandon Beane says Josh Allen wanted the Buffalo Bills to draft Keon Coleman
Alicia Devine/Tallahassee Democrat / USA TODAY NETWORK

The Buffalo Bills drafted a new weapon for Josh Allen in the form of former Florida State receiver Keon Coleman to kickoff the second day of the NFL Draft this past Friday. 

Bills general manager Brandon Beane joined "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday and was asked about Allen's involvement in the draft process, and how he felt about the selection of Coleman.

"Josh is crazy about the draft process," Beane said. "He loves it... If I get a call from Josh in the offseason, it's usually him seeing somebody on a highlight, running into somebody, throwing with somebody- just something to ask me what I think about this guy."

"Keon was one- I know he liked him a lot... [Josh] FaceTimed me, actually I was still at home before I headed into [the war room]. And he was like 'What are you thinking?' And I said 'Well, barring somebody blowing me away, I'm going to take Keon.' And he was pretty pumped."

Coleman is already a darling with Bills fans and the media after videos from before and during his introductory press conference went viral on social media. 

It's safe to say the Bills love their new receiver, and Josh Allen is excited to have him there, as well.
