3 intriguing Buffalo Bills who can return kicks under new rules in 2024

Coleman is the least likely candidate of the group, but his punt return history in college should earn him some consideration.

While playing for the Florida State Seminoles in 2023, Coleman returned 25 punts for a total of 300 yards. His 4.61 40-yard dash at the NFL combine was disappointing, but Coleman plays with solid game speed and his punt returns demonstrated his elite athletic abilities.

Because he will be a rookie, the Bills could use the new low-impact kickoffs as an opportunity to hit Coleman without risking significant injury. His lack of experience returning kicks is a red flag, but he displays above-average long speed that could translate to special teams.

Since the Bills don’t have a long-time NFL player on their roster, it’s difficult to predict who might take on the responsibility of that role before training camp opens next month. Some players appear to be good candidates, but at the moment the position is open for tryouts, so it won’t be surprising if some of these players receive some touches during the preseason.
