The Buffalo Bills have been one of the top teams in the AFC for the past few seasons.
Josh Allen has been a massive part of the team’s growth and development, and while they haven’t made it to the Super Bowl under his leadership, the Bills are working their way towards something special.
There was some initial concern about the team’s future when Stefon Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans in the offseason, considering he has been Allen’s No. 1 target.
While Allen’s overall production could take a slight hit, rookie Keon Coleman appears to be already fitting in nicely in this offense.
Allen recently appeared on The Insiders on NFL Network, saying Coleman’s “play style (is) what we needed in our offense.”
He also added that he’s “A big-bodied guy that can go win on a back-shoulder fade and is not afraid to be a physical wide receiver.”

Coleman has already received a significant amount of praise due to his work at OTAs, which could be a good sign moving forward.
The Bills are in desperate need of a WR1 with Diggs’ departure in mind, and Coleman presents as a player who could provide some meaningful playing time to the organization.
The AFC East isn’t getting any easier, as the Miami Dolphins continue to pick up speed, the New York Jets have Aaron Rodgers back in the building, and the New England Patriots should also be improved.
If Coleman works out, Allen and the Bills should be able to compete for the division title again this year.
