Keon Coleman off to fast start in Bills career

Allen had some high praise for Coleman during training camp.

“When he was going through his college tape, I thought he was kind of a mix between like a Michael Thomas and a Dez Bryant,” Allen said. “Obviously big guy, great body control, and I think Dez and Michael Thomas have that great body control. I think he’s up there with them. Think he’s the best body control that I’ve seen in terms of running to the right, jumping off his right and getting left and then running left side, jumping off his left, and getting right. I think that’s his basketball background.

“But again, he’s 6-foot-4, I think he plays faster than what his 40 [yard dash] time said. I know everybody knocks him for that, but he’s a gamer, too, and he loves the game of football. I’m excited to throw to him.”
