Keon Coleman and Xavier Worthy are already receiving rave reviews from the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs

The 2024 NFL Draft included a handful of wide receivers who many believe could become instant impact players in the league this season. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, as Keon Coleman And Xavier Digne are two who showed up early for their respective organizations.

Dignified, an elder Texas who broke the 40-yard dash record at the NFL Combine in February, with a record time of 4.21 seconds, was selected in the first round by the Chiefs as the fifth wide receiver off the board.

“I’m told he’s off to a good start with Kansas City,” Fowler said on SportsCenter Sunday morning. “People I’ve spoken to are in the building and say he’s soaking up the playbook. Very good football character so far, much more so than the speed guy. They tried to recruit an agent Zay Jones, he went to Arizona instead. So the fact that he’s off to a good start helps them on the depth front at wide receiver.

Worthy made his debut at rookie minicamp last week, where he attended practice at wideout and on special teams. His speed makes him a threat as a returner and is an easy way to get the ball in his hands. After all, he was a 1,000-yard receiver for the Longhorns last season and has a knack for finding the end zone with 26 career touchdowns.

For Coleman, he will also play for a Pro Bowl quarterback in Josh Allen after becoming the first overall pick in the second round by the Buffalo Bills. Like Worthy, he is a proven touchdown scorer with 11 last season. State of Floridaand is already impressing those within the Bills organization.

“Huge personality as we’ve seen,” Fowler said of Coleman. “A lot of scouts viewed him as a potential late first-round type player. Really talented, I’m told the Bills don’t care that he ran a 4.6 (40 yard dash). It’s considered slow, but he’s a major athlete.

“I even saw some of his high school basketball highlights the other day – crazy athletes who believe his contested catching ability, his size, Josh Allen could just throw it 30-40 yards down the bottom of the field. He can muscle people, cornerbacks and gain those extra yards. So they think they have something here.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if Worthy and Coleman play regular roles for the Chiefs and Bills, respectively, throughout the 2024 season. With each team’s training camps coming up, not to mention pre-season opportunities, season in August, they have more than enough time to get used to the speed of the NFL and fill the roles their teams need them in before the regular season begins. season.
