Bills' Coleman calls rookie tape 'trash'

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman seems to be his own worst critic when it comes to his 2024 rookie season.

"You want to know exactly what I see? Man, that shit trash - you've got to be better," Coleman told reporters when asked about his rookie film at Bills minicamp this week. "It's simple as that. You've got to be more efficient here. You've got to get out of this break. You've got to stack your DB.

"You've got to give Josh (Allen) more room to throw the ball. You've got to catch that. You've got to make that block. You've got to give that extra effort on the touchdown block, so if (James Cook) breaks it, he's up the sideline. Just different things like that. Calling out everything that you're doing wrong to make it right."

Coleman tallied 29 receptions, 556 receiving yards, and four touchdowns across 13 games as a rookie while averaging 19.2 yards per reception. He added three catches for 22 yards during the postseason. Coleman also missed four games with a wrist injury.

Buffalo drafted the big-bodied wideout out of Florida State with the first pick of the second round in last year's draft.

"It ain't no, 'Aw, that was trash. Well, I did do this right.' Nah," Coleman added. "It's either a plus or a minus, and that's just how you go about it."

The 22-year-old said he doesn't get frustrated by the mistakes he sees in his game, however, and doesn't need extra motivation to improve his shortcomings.

"I'm self-motivated. I come here every day to work," Coleman said. "This is a job, but to me it's more. It's a hobby and a profession. So, it's something I love to do, and I don't need nobody to hit me on the back to make me go even harder. I'm coming with it from the jump."
