Buffalo Bills<\/a>‘ wide receiver Keon Coleman is going into his second season with the team, where he hopes to be better than he was a year ago.<\/p>\n

Coleman, 22, caught 29 passes for 556 yards and four touchdowns last season with the Bills as a rookie. Now, he hopes to exceed those numbers in Year 2.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report writer Gary Davenport listed Coleman as a winner during training camp.<\/a><\/p>\n

“On some level, Keon Coleman\u2019s second training camp with the Buffalo Bills has been a microcosm of his rookie season\u2014something of a roller-coaster,” Davenport wrote.<\/p>\n

“Per\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s Joe Buscaglia<\/a>. Coleman was erratic in the early stages of camp, struggling with the drops that plagued him as a rookie.<\/p>\n

“However, as camp has progressed, Coleman has begun to stand out more. In the team\u2019s \u201cBlue and Red\u201d practice in front of fans, Coleman overcame a pair of early drops to be the\u00a0biggest standout\u00a0among Buffalo\u2019s wide receivers. It\u2019s the latest in a steady drumbeat of\u00a0positive reports\u00a0after those early struggles.”<\/p>\n

The Bills need a player that can stand out as Josh Allen’s top target in the wide receiver room<\/a>. Khalil Shakir has the best chance to do that, but Coleman isn’t far behind him.<\/p>\n

Coleman was drafted after the Stefon Diggs trade to the Houston Texans back in 2024, so the Bills hope he can have a strong impact in the passing game.<\/p>\n

Coleman and the Bills are back in action for the preseason opener on Saturday against the New York Giants. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
