Bills' Josh Allen Hypes Keon Coleman After Diggs Trade: Rookie Is 'What We Needed'

Josh Allen lost one of his main targets over the offseason after Stefon Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans, but he gained a new one through the draft when the Buffalo Bills selected Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman.

Allen had high praise for Coleman, the No. 33 overall pick in the 2024 draft, complimenting his size and ability to make plays while speaking during an appearance on NFL Network's The Insiders, per NFL.com's Christian Gonzales.

"I think his play style (is) what we needed in our offense," Allen said. "Talking with our offensive coordinator (Joe Brady), our quarterbacks coach (Ronald Curry), (general manager) Brandon Beane and, obviously, coach (Sean) McDermott, a guy that's a big-bodied guy and can go win one a back-shoulder fade and not afraid to be a physical wide receiver.
