When Corey Coleman was entering the NFL in 2016, fans were understandably excited at the possibilities ahead. ProFootballFocus named him the top wideout in the 2016 draft, noting his special quick-twitch abilities to go along with his productive career at Baylor and desirable workout results, like a 4.37 40-yard dash at his pro day. After trading down twice, and previously having been in position to pick second overall, the Cleveland Browns selected Coleman with the 15th pick and set upon another journey of inevitable disappointment for the Cleveland Browns.
This week, the Browns completed a trade that sent Coleman to the Buffalo Bills and the compensation was merely a 2020 seventh round pick.
