Pause at 26 seconds. Im waiting to see this guy in a few months. Let's see

Thats it ! Love it. Great reach

 He still needs to train for muscling out of those short area cuts to get off coverage.

And foot work plus leverage are key that type type of receiver. Even if it aint pretty. he is a big boy after all lol

and a Pony. You always want a Pony . ( a Seinfeld episode reference  )

 Maybe i read into that OP you created about Oliver a tad too deep 😇

I don't even like horses

Expectations should be high for a guy picked, essentially in the first round. Especially now he’s a second year player and really, for the position, is only battling Shakir and Palmer to be the guy Josh leans on. 
 

Now obviously and I might be wrong, he isn’t overtaking Shakir in that regard but Palmer is fresh on the team so he should be ahead of the curve there.

How would you best use these guys if you were Joe Brady

Using the Everyone eats mantra ?

I think Bills really look hard at game Day matchups , and each WR we have now fits a particular "type" as compared to X Y Z.

Bills were lacking confident speed to get to the top. Coleman has another role for sure.

 

Like to see how he would fit along with current likely starters

Tough question as he isn’t the best at separating. Contested catches and RZ is where he’ll always make his living imo. Don’t know how you make that your bread and butter as a go to guy. He isn’t Moss or Megatron. 
 

Wholly agree in him having a role, it just might only be the above?

I think he might improve his separation , learning to use his body and reach.

Not that burst thing though lol

If he can hand fight to get off the line and out leverage, or turn a guy? He might be able to hunt down one of Joshes crazy long throws a few times

he is no stop and go player thats for sure

I can't believe people are clowning on Coleman for working lol

 

And to anybody who thinks that will not improve your short area quickness or release package at all.. it does 

 

First of all not everybody can be Jerry Rice off the line of scrimmage..  but even plaxico burress needed to have a little bit of this in his bag 

 

There's a reason why professional trainers have wide receivers doing drills like this.. because if you do it for a month straight it pays off

Dudes still finishing routes from last year

and hand work against defenders

The legal push off or box out etc etc

This "cone" type of drill is critical training for Wrs. It's also mental.

 counting steps, angles to and from the point of pivot. Not giving away your next angle

so much more 🙂
Thanks 716

Better late than never my Grandma used to say.

 I think she was talking about pooping though

Hated the pick (wanted Ladd and got more mad).  So I have no expectations and hopefully he made some positive gains in the offseason.
