The first of many is done and dusted for Keon Coleman.
The Buffalo Bills wide receiver finally got his first, brief NFL action against the Chicago Bears on Saturday.
The scoreboard was none too kind to Buffalo, a 33-6 loss, but for the Bills’ top draft pick it was all about getting his feet wet.
Head coach Sean McDermott thought Coleman held his own.
“I thought he looked comfortable,” McDermott said via video conference. “I thought he looked like it wasn’t too big for him, and that’s part of being a young player and adjusting. That didn’t surprise me, though, because he’s been taking things in stride that way.”
Coleman’s mindset reflect McDermott’s analysis. After getting his first taste of taste of pro football, it was an “onto the next one” approach from the rookie.
“Really, I got a job to do,” Coleman said. “I’m just eager to do that every day.”
Coleman managed just one catch–but he mustered a first down out of it.
