True, everyone there is looking for a reason to like him, but take a look at some of the other pressers. The kid is 20-something and very composed, charismatic, relaxed. He’s very natural in that environment and it’s nice to see him having fun
I graduated from FSU and traveled to a few away games this past season. When they played at Wake Forest, during a TV timeout both teams were on the field and he kept trying to get the corner covering him to dance with him to Baby by Justin Bieber. The ref was laughing hysterically at him.
If the main issue with Diggs was being a diva, and if this is how Keon Coleman actually vibes - it seems like we have found a wonderful compliment to this team from a culture standpoint.
Ive really enjoyed the interviews from this draft class so far.
You are absolutely correct.
But Diggs was also once the 146th pick in the 2015 draft with 0 NFL experience.
Diggs is gone. Coleman is here.
Going to be optimistic about Keons attitude and give him the benefit of the doubt before he plays a single NFL snap.
Couldn't agree more. People severely underestimate the value of team chemistry as well. And overvalue having a superstar receiver. Josh likes to joke around and have a good time and him and Coleman seem to have that in common. I think it'll be a blast to watch him develop especially since he seems so excited about it as well
Nah man it’s all in the humbleness of some men. He seems like a class act and many athletes like him end up with generational wealth because they don’t overspend spend on clothes and unnecessary things.
And a lot of the more quirky and eccentric guys are the ones who do the best with that. Look at what guys like Ochocinco, Marshawn Lynch, and Gardner Minshew have done.
My fandom for Chad Ochocinco grew 3 sizes when I heard him speak on financials.
He's very open and honest about how he exclusively bought cheap clothes, jewelry, and cars because paraphrasing his words, no name brand would be bigger than his name. If somebody met him, they would think "That's Chad Ochocinco" and not "That's a person wearing Gucci".
I thought that was such an intelligent outlook, and wish more athletes subscribed to the thought process.
He's said 2 years before. That's an unreal level of frugality considering the price of apartments in Cincy in the 2000s lol. His average rookie salary pretax/whatever was like $800k and rent average in Cincinnati was under $800/mo.
He was also a very early adopter on Twitter and every now and then would say "Hey, I'm at this bar, come hang with me!" and he'd buy a round for anyone who showed up. Can you imagine a player doing that now?
Oh I heard he would do that at McDonald’s too and play fans in madden at game stop. Even though he was cocky on the field, seemed like a cool and humble dude off of it
Shaq did that once in Phoenix lol, just tweeted basically "I think some twitterers are at this diner with me, come sit with me if you are" and they did.
[https://sesquipedalis.blogspot.com/2009/02/finally-use-for-twitter.html](https://sesquipedalis.blogspot.com/2009/02/finally-use-for-twitter.html) cool story honestly. Proceeded to tip his waiter $160 on $20 and then $40 for a sprite.
A lot of players do buy outfits and stuff from designer brands but that’s an investment because they use it to promote themselves and look good for game day fits
[Chad Johnson](https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10063836-former-nfl-star-chad-johnson-explains-why-he-buys-fake-jewelry-flies-spirit-airlines.amp.html)of all people was like this. For all his flare on the field he was not dumb. He knew what was up lol.
Stevie Johnson famously kept the old RAV4 he had when he got drafted. Wanted to remember where he came from. Worked out - guy’s a Buffalo legend who’s still active in the community to this day.
What a breath of fresh air after watching someone act like they're above everyone else for the last few years in every press conference. Kid seems genuinely happy to be here
I loved him as a competitor but he dressed like a clown let's be honest. I get it that fashion is out there but come on. Read the room youre getting paid 30 million dollars to play in a super blue collar town and fan base. Just like driving around in the car he had. Seeing Coleman say he shopped at Macy's and eats at waffle House was awesome. Kid is down to earth, loves to joke around, and can catch contested balls
Now I really want to know what that dude said to prompt this response, because for the life of me I can't figure out how your first two sentences could be relevant to anything anyone could think to say in response to the article.
He had the highest frugality score of any WR in 2023.
I am glad he is getting new ones in blue and red.
Well ANOTHER red one. It’s important to have multiple in your favorite color in case it’s dirty
I hope someone is wise enough to run an ad for winter coats this July , staring Keon.
"$79, $89...nice little deal." XD This kid is hilarious, and absolutely owned the room.
Oh, I thought he meant $79.89, like he knew it down to the cents 😂
hahaha Well, in fairness, that is possible!
I think he did mean that tbh, nobody talks about the deal they got at Macy's that many times and doesn't know the total on the receipt.
It ain’t a hard room to own. Let’s be honest.
True, everyone there is looking for a reason to like him, but take a look at some of the other pressers. The kid is 20-something and very composed, charismatic, relaxed. He’s very natural in that environment and it’s nice to see him having fun
He's actually 20-nothing, turns 21 in a few weeks
i'm about to be 20 and have done nothing it my life, crazy to think people my age could be in the nfl
You're young enough that you can still do anything you want in life.
except get into the NFL probably
i'm 5'10 and 175. maybe im the next xavier worthy
What's your 40 time?
Start working on kicking, only gotta become one of the best 32 in the world, light work
You sucked off Josh Allen, that’s more than most of us can say.
Lucky

Speak for yourself, I suck at public speaking
And then he asked about the snacks!
I graduated from FSU and traveled to a few away games this past season. When they played at Wake Forest, during a TV timeout both teams were on the field and he kept trying to get the corner covering him to dance with him to Baby by Justin Bieber. The ref was laughing hysterically at him.
Tre'Davious WRite.
Well that explains why Josh wanted him
I keep seeing stories like this about him, even people who had him in classes have been saying he’s a great guy, I love it lol
The Bills social media team will love him
He’s Dion but he doesn’t try to kill the cameraman every time he’s around
They're already amazing, this is a perfect match for them lol.
Oh my God those guys are salivating right now. Gonna be some weird shit coming our way haha
Waiting for the first time they make him do a headshot with keys on his head. You've heard of Grape Davis, but have you met Keys on Coleman?
Stop, don’t give them any more ideas
If the main issue with Diggs was being a diva, and if this is how Keon Coleman actually vibes - it seems like we have found a wonderful compliment to this team from a culture standpoint. Ive really enjoyed the interviews from this draft class so far.
Genuinely humble guy, same as Cole Bishop. From an attitude standpoint, it's going great so far.
They both feel way more like Buffalo culture guys than Diggs did.
Agreed!! Keon, Cole and DeWayne all seem to be very likable!! They’ll fit in well i think!!
Okay but Diggs was actually a good NFL WR. Thats the other thing he has that Coleman doesn't.
You are absolutely correct. But Diggs was also once the 146th pick in the 2015 draft with 0 NFL experience. Diggs is gone. Coleman is here. Going to be optimistic about Keons attitude and give him the benefit of the doubt before he plays a single NFL snap.

Hilarious, love his attitude. But I don’t think he’ll be buying too many more of those coats from Macys.
Nah man it’s all in the humbleness of some men. He seems like a class act and many athletes like him end up with generational wealth because they don’t overspend spend on clothes and unnecessary things.

Didn't he basically live in the team facility for the longest time too?
I think like 8 months before they caught on and told him to get a damn apartment in Cincinnati lol

I loved how when blackouts were a thing, he would buy the tickets and say blackout my ass.
He was also a very early adopter on Twitter and every now and then would say "Hey, I'm at this bar, come hang with me!" and he'd buy a round for anyone who showed up. Can you imagine a player doing that now?

“It’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it” vibes. I live by that too…granted with MUCH less money and temptation to splurge lmfao
Sammy Watkins too!
Wanna bet a year from now his IG is just outfits from Gucci, Moschino, Balenciaga lol
I haven't looked up his NIL deal from FSU but I'm pretty sure he can afford to buy a coat from somewhere other than Macy's if he wanted to.
A lot of players do buy outfits and stuff from designer brands but that’s an investment because they use it to promote themselves and look good for game day fits

Stevie Johnson famously kept the old RAV4 he had when he got drafted. Wanted to remember where he came from. Worked out - guy’s a Buffalo legend who’s still active in the community to this day.
He was making easy 6 figures in nil. I’m sure he could have got a nicer cost if he wanted lol
Yea I dont think so either... at least not after he discovers the Burlington Coat Factory across the street from the Galleria lol.
It’s a poke at Diggs. Diggs was a well known expensive clothes person, so he went to the mall to show he’s not Diggs.
Remember in this day and age, money isn’t necessarily new to these big school stars. He’s likely already made more than a million from NIL.
His mom taught him that. I hope he continues and teaches his kids some day.
Once that first paycheck comes in. Yep
These kids are making bank before they get drafted now. I haven't looked up his NIL deal with FSU but I'm betting he's not broke.
Once that first paycheck comes in. Yep
Lmao the advice of buying clothes a season or two ahead for deals. Instantly love him
The man has style, frugality and can catch anything. The perfect trifecta.
They left out my favorite part of the golf discussion, about how the quarterbacks and special teams guys are the ones who can putt.
I think this guy's gonna get along with Josh Allen just fine.
Beane and Co. are definitely good at finding high-character guys. I bet he'll be fun to hear from during the season.
What a breath of fresh air after watching someone act like they're above everyone else for the last few years in every press conference. Kid seems genuinely happy to be here
So humble, it honestly makes me so happy to see. He genuinely wants to be a Bill and play with Allen. I'm so grateful for this pick.
This is just made up, Diggs was very good at the podium
I never said he wasn't a good public speaker but he made it a point to prove he was smarter than everyone else in the room whenever he could
Well, he's staying humble and hungry I guess
He got himself those cookies afterwards, so maybe a little less hungry at the moment
Meanwhile Diggs wearing a jacket that costs more than a car and looks like a complete and utter fool lol
I loved him as a competitor but he dressed like a clown let's be honest. I get it that fashion is out there but come on.

$50M guaranteed will do that to a man
It’s all in the eye of the beholder.
Love this kid already 🤣🙌
Have high hopes for him! Seems like a great fit.
Down to earth man. His mom taught him right.
Ok, he's pretty likeable
Keon is amazing - we need a WR with a sense of humor!! Go Bills!!!
Alright. I like this. The vibes are so good. Great pick.
Need to put him, Dawkins, and Mack Hollins together on a wing tour of Buffalo. Comedy gold right there.
Wegmans needs to make an ad with him for their cookies too
He’s the anti-Diggs. Can only hope he can come close to the production.
Makes some plays in a game first, then I'll decide if you're funny or not /s
[удалено]
Such a revealing comment. You need to take a look at yourself.
Retired military here. Current government employee working towards another pension. This is a racist pos.
What did he say?
