like i said before the draft…coleman will be lucky to make a squad as a special teams player..he cant cover in the nfl..so he would be a liability on defense..

nyc, I see that you are a scout for the NFL. How does that job pay? How do you KNOW Coleman can’t cover in the NFL? He hasn’t made the first practice yet. Not a bad gig to make the NFL, even as a special teams player.
