Third year should be the charm with Keon Coleman

Once again, the pressure is on a young receiver to turn that corner of mediocrity and land in greatness. This time it is receiver Keon Coleman, who many are calling a bust and the Bills should try to unload him for better. Well, I think the opposite, it is my belief that this young man is set to have a breakout year and silence his critics.

The reason I feel Coleman will have a breakout season is because it does take a while to understand what it takes to be successful at the pro level. The third year is usually that season where it all comes together and he is playing with a franchise quarterback in Josh Allen. This will make the upcoming Bills offense one of the best in the league this year. Plus, Keon Coleman has the off-season work ethic to understand this must be the year he makes that jump.

Towards the end of the sea son, I saw signs that Keon Cole man was starting to understand the game better. He has truly improved in understanding where to find those soft spots in zone defenses and physically can beat defensive backs in man coverage. This year’s draft in Pittsburgh should be one that the Buffalo Bills should try to get the right defensive players to fit in this new defense.

The franchise must get better at the linebacker position run ning a 3-4 base. Bigger, more stout inside linebackers would be my concentration in this draft.
