A third round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons, Coleman became the program's third unanimous consensus All-American in 2014, joining Anthony Thompson - 1989 and Vaughn Dunbar - 1991. He finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting, the best placing by a Hoosier since Antwaan Randle El's sixth-place showing in 2001.
One of three finalists for the Doak Walker Award, Coleman became the 18th player in FBS history to reach 2,000 rushing yards in a single season with his 130-yard effort in the team's 23-16 Old Oaken Bucket victory over Purdue. He ranks 15th on the all-time list and tops the school's list with 2,036 yards.
