Buffalo Bills open 2nd round of NFL draft by selecting Florida State receiver Keon Coleman

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills elected not to trade back in the NFL draft order for a third time, and addressed their most significant need by selecting Florida State receiver Keon Coleman to open the second round on Friday.

Listed at 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds, the 20-year-old Coleman brings size and adept catching ability to a Josh Allen-led offense that traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans earlier this month and lost fourth-year player Gabe Davis to free agency.

In his only season at Florida State, Coleman earned All-ACC honors in leading the Seminoles with 50 catches for 658 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games. He earned All-ACC honors and also doubled as a return specialist. Coleman spent his first two college seasons at Michigan State, totaling 65 catches for 848 yards and eight TDs.

The Bills had been on the clock for some 17 hours after trading their way out of the first round with a pair of deals in moving back from having the No. 28th pick to No. 33.
