Is he a better passer than Tua? Bills Mafia says ‘Yes!’
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman has been stealing the headlines around Western New York, and now rumor has it he could possibly steal a few snaps this season too.
Maybe not. But the during last week’s NFL Rookie Premiere in Los Angeles, CA, Coleman was videoed testing his arm strength as he launched a football downfield with precision accuracy.

Of course, Bills Mafia would love nothing more than to see quarterback Josh Allen add to his 221 touchdowns than by receiving one from the team’s new receiver. It wouldn’t be Allen’s first receiving touchdown, however. He caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from receiver Isaiah McKenzie back in 2020.
Whether or not Coleman takes any snaps from the shotgun formation or has the opportunity to launch, or toss, a pass to anyone via a trick play is still a long way from predicting. But the uncertainty of it doesn’t keep Bills Mafia from doing what they do second-best — heckling the Miami Dolphins. It didn’t take them long to point out that Coleman’s pass was superior to that of Miami’s starting quarterback.

Regardless, Coleman is stealing all the headlines this offseason while winning the hearts and boosting the hopes of the Bills’ faithful who were sent reeling when the team released a slew of veterans and then traded wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans prior to the NFL Draft.
For now, the rookie just looks like a big kid having a blast at field day at the end of a school year.
