When Keon Coleman first set foot on to the podium at last season’s NFL Combine, it became clear that the young wideout was an unofficial comedian. Every line that he spoke either sent the room into splits or at least drew out a smile.

Then the Buffalo Bills selected him with the 33rd pick in last season’s draft. The franchise did not draft him for his joke, but at least their scouts saw that he takes to the game differently than others. He joked about his golfing skills during the Combine.

The star wideout was in Brooklyn, New York, where he was a guest on the podcast 7PM in Brooklyn. Knowing this season’s NFL Combine just concluded, host and NBA legend Carmelo Anthony asked Coleman if he ever watched the events and what he would change about it.

Not me! We got linemen out here running the 40 and vertical jumping, when they ever doing that? I’d change it from Indianapolis at least. I’d at least put it in Texas.

Keon Coleman said

He added that those at the NFL Combine would arrange fruit snacks on tables. But teams did not allow players to eat those snacks in between their drills. If he did ask for one, he believes it would blow up in the media and they would label him as being ‘disrespectful’.

Keon Coleman believes the Combine is designed to mess with the minds of prospects. To that, Carmelo Anthony added that teams use that up close environment to find that extra bit of information. But he understands it is stressful for some. Coleman, though, clarified that he was chilling.

Keon Coleman asks teams to allow Travis Hunter to play both ways

Continuing their conversations about the NFL Combine and the upcoming Draft, the crew of 7PM in Brooklyn asked Keon Coleman his thoughts on teams not allowing Travis Hunter to play both ways.

You might as well let him do it. At least let him try it out.

Keon Coleman said

The second year receiver believes teams picking high up in the draft are not winning. Therefore, it wouldn’t hurt for them to allow Travis Hunter to at least try playing both ways. He believes it will be a big draw for fans.

The Buffalo Bills WR dispelled notions playing both positions will drain out Hunter. If he is not asked to constantly defend elite receivers with no help and run go routes every time, he will run out of gas. But otherwise, with enough substitutions, it should not be a problem for Travis Hunter.
