Small Piece of DE/OLB Antonio Coleman

Coleman admitted he was surprised and disappointed that he wasn't drafted. But he said all he ever asked for was a chance, and he plans to take full advantage of his opportunity with the Bills.


"I guarantee I'm going to make the team," he said.

Man, I don't know how he wasn't drafted but I'm sure as hell glad we picked him. This kid is going to have a monster chip on his shoulder and I could seriously see him contributing as a pass rushing speacilist this year.

I can't believe nobody drafted this kid. Especially looking at some of the garbage that gets drafted late.

[Bills Juggernaut]

Hey DB, what's the knock on this kid? Why was he not drafted?

[Tatonka]

good.. his fire is lit.. hope hit carries him on a long and prosperous career with the bills.

He was SEC sack leader?

I was baffled as to why he wasn't drafted late but **** it, we got him.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him make the team over Kelsay.

This was written before the combine, but still nice to see:


Look for Coleman to be selected in the fourth or fifth round of the 2010 draft, but a third-round choice is not out of the question (especially if he runs well at the combine).

Scott Wright has him as a Late Round/FA grade:

Classic 'tweener who lacks the size to play with his hand down at the next level but may not have the speed to stand up either --- Terrific college player but certainly not the top pro prospect that his press clippings would lead you to believe.

Size, Top End Speed, Durability, Motor

When he wants to he is a dynamic pass rusher, but he didnt always want to at Auburn. Now that his fire is lit, he may go off on some teams in the preseason. He'll be a fun one to watch in TC.

Coleman is a hitter by the way, look for him and Batten to tee off on some players.
