Rich Eisen Is Astonished By Keon Coleman’s First Buffalo Bills Press Conference
The former Seminole is already earning national attention after being selected by the Bills.
Keon Coleman, a former wide receiver at Florida State, is well-known for his spectacular and memorable moments while wearing garnet and gold. The 6’3″, 213-pound star from Opelousas, Louisiana, was chosen with the 33rd overall choice by the Buffalo Bills in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He finished the previous season leading the team in receiving yards (658) and touchdowns (11).
As entertaining as he has been between the hashes, he is making a name for himself off the field, drawing positive reactions from fans and media pundits with his on-camera antics. From immediately eying the snacks at his introductory press conference to giving advice on shopping for winter wear, Coleman’s personality has gained national attention.
“His introductory press conference that occurred over the weekend is a legend,” sports commentator and radio host Rich Eisen said on The Rich Eisen Show.
Coleman was a one-year transfer out of Michigan State who blasted onto the scene with former Heisman finalist and now New York Jets quarterback Jordan Travis throwing him alley-oop touchdown passes that helped the ‘Noles win in the ACC and SEC, beating teams like LSU and Clemson.
“Macy’s, what do you mean?” Coleman said when asked about where he purchased his coat from. “They’re on sale on the rack; all the colors. Look, $79-89, you can get yourself a nice little deal.”
While his style will surely be emphasized as he continues through his rookie contract, he humbly mentioned his guitar playing and golf skills saying he isn’t very good at either but that it is relaxing never the less.
“I can’t play no guitar, man. I can do a few little strings, but I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s fun. It’s just relaxing,” Coleman said. “I can golf a little bit now. I can drive pretty well, but putting — it’s alright. That’s why I’m good at Top Golf.”
Recreation doesn’t seem to be the first thing on Coleman’s mind when it comes to his career. When asked about his first tour of Highmark Stadium, he told the media he had already scored three imaginary touchdowns
Yes, I did really score three touchdowns in my head. Thirty seconds passed. Coleman chuckled, “It was a record. “Nobody has ever did that one yet.”
The young novice could not resist the cookies as the conference came to an end. As he will undoubtedly accomplish with touchdown catches in Buffalo, he departed with a handful in tow.
