There were character concerns too
Anquan Boldin, George Pickens dropped in the draft because of the "can't separate" crap. Coleman makes plays!! He "Moss" DBs. He returns punts. Played at Mich. St, cold climate. Think Drake London who went top 10 in the draft last year. Or Courtland Sutton. I'm good with Keon.
I think Coleman is their guy. Drake London went 8th overall and I think they're pretty similar in size, speed and playmaking. Coleman has better RAC ability.
There's a plethora of GREAT WRs that ran slow 40s. Rice, Boldin are 2 that comes to mind
They said the same about Metcalf, DHop, Michael Thomas about not separating from coverage. Catching the ball is job #1
Would you take DK Metcalf? Because he was considered to be only a deep/go route type before the draft. I'm considering Legette at 28 more and more. He's shown he can be a deep threat, contested catch guy and a RAC guy. Keon Coleman is my #2 at 28. Mike Williams type of receiver
