Former Florida State star and now Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has garnered significant attention this offseason, starting from his very first press conference as a Bill. Coleman charmed the audience by talking about his hobbies, like playing guitar and Topgolf, and notably mentioned where he bought his jacket before enjoying some cookies from the press room.
As the Bills’ preseason winds down, a reporter recently asked Coleman if his mindset has shifted from his usual entertaining demeanor to a more football-focused approach. Coleman’s response was classic.
“When have I not been Keon the football player?” he quickly replied. “I mean, I don’t really like talking about a jacket either. It’s football season. My mindset has been on football since my first press conference—it’s always been about football.”
Anyone familiar with Coleman knows he takes the game very seriously. It’s one of the reasons the Bills selected him in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft with the No. 33 overall pick. Last season, he led the Seminoles in both receiving yards and receptions and is expected to be a star at the professional level.
“Yeah, you got to see my personality, but was I focused on the jacket? Not at all. I was focused on the playbook and adjusting to the speed of the game.”
While Coleman is undoubtedly entertaining on and off the field, he assured everyone that he would be ready when the Bills kick off their regular season against the Arizona Cardinals on September 8. Before that, they’ll wrap up their preseason against the Carolina Panthers on Saturday, August 24, at 1:00 p.m.
