Keon Coleman runs a 4.64 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine
Keon Coleman, the talented junior wide receiver from Florida State, participated in athletic testing at the NFL Combine this weekend. This biggest headline being his 4.64 40-yard dash time this past Saturday. While he wasn’t expected to be fast, this number was slightly disappointing. However, he rebounded quickly and was able to show his athletic ability hitting 20 mph in the gauntlet drill.
Coleman is a three year college player whose best year came in his sophomore campaign for the Seminoles. However, he struggled with injuries in 2023 and was unable to improve upon that success. Additionally, he’s a big-bodied wide receiver who fits the prototypical mold of an outside receiver at the NFL level. A more impressive 40-yard dash would have been nice, but Keenan Allen and Cooper Kupp are examples of successful NFL wide receivers who didn’t have great times. As a result, Coleman should still be a borderline first-round pick in the NFL Draft.
