Man, put about 15-20 lbs on him and that's a scary threat at TE. That'd be a really cool story if he could catch on to the team somehow.

ideally if he shows progress, stash him on PS for a year, with a full year under his belt... never know... could become a nice WR'ing TE.

What the hell bring him in. If he has the measurables and can bulk up some....then who knows.


Seems fairly low risk so why not?

“I will get out the blocks a lot quicker than I did,” Coleman said. “I felt like I was kind of slow because I was hesitant. ‘Should I go 10 yards? Should I go 15 yards?’ Now I know, so I can be more free to just show them. I have more fluent blocking.


quote:

Coleman, wearing a long-sleeved, Xavier basketball shirt, appeared to be learning as much as he was showcasing potential, from proper blocking techniques and how to catch and tuck to releasing off the line and utilizing his hips to move quickly and precisely through tight, timing routes.
