Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman not fazed by Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis swaps

Many eyes will be on former Florida State star wide receiver Keon Coleman when the Buffalo Bills kick off against the Chicago Bears on August 10 at 1:00 p.m. Drafted in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Coleman comes with a huge hype and an even bigger personality that has captivated the Bills Mafia fanbase and beyond with his on-camera antics and wholesome attitude.

The Opelousas, Louisiana, native led the Seminoles in receiving yards and touchdowns last season. However, he has big shoes to fill, with former Bills star wideout Stefon Diggs being traded to the Houston Texans and Gabe Davis parting ways with Buffalo to join the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent. Diggs rushed for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns last season, while Davis added 746 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023.

Coleman doesn’t seem fazed by replacing the Bills’ two former star receivers. In a recent interview with former Seminole and sports personality Bryant McFadden, Coleman made it clear he feels no pressure replacing a four-time Pro Bowler.

“Not at all,” Coleman told McFadden. “All I do is come out and be myself, be where I’m supposed to be. The game’s going to take care of itself; all I have to do is be in the moment. Because I’m not Gabe, I’m not Stef, I’m just Keon. We’ve got a lot of other guys that definitely complement my game and we complement each other and Josh to make it work.”

Keon’s confidence in himself comes from his family roots and support system. He constantly stresses about remaining humble throughout the dreams he pursues. While Coleman’s 4.61-second 40-yard dash time didn’t necessarily impress him, during his glove drill, Coleman reached a top speed of 20.36 MPH — the fastest speed by a receiver in the last two seasons.

One look at his presentation film will show you why FSU head coach Mike Norvell and receivers coach Ron Dugans wanted him in their offense. As a standout early in last year’s fall camp, his NFL potential was obvious.

He’ll be surrounded by a talented receiving corps, and catching passes from two-time Pro Bowler Josh Allen will certainly improve his chances of making an immediate impact in Buffalo. Coleman will also join FSU legend Dalvin Cook’s brother James Cook on the roster, and the Bills should remain a potent offense in the AFC East.
