The Buffalo Bills will leave no stone unturned as they seek to build a championship winning team and quarterback Josh Allen epitomizes this philosophy.
Buffalo”s second round pick Keon Coleman was made to feel part of the team from the get-go and revealed he received a text from Allen the day after the draft, saying, “you”re the one that I want.”
GM Brandon Beane emphasized just how invested Allen was in the draft process.
“Josh is crazy about the draft process. He loves it,” Beane told SiriusXM NFL Radio.
“If I get a call from Josh in the offseason, it’s usually him seeing somebody on a highlight, running into somebody, throwing with somebody — just something to ask me what I think about this guy. He called me at the Senior Bowl [to ask] what do I think about a couple of guys there. So he loves it.
“He’s been in the building the last couple of weeks now that the offseason program’s started. So, we did give him some guys, we said, ‘Hey, sit back with the coaches, y’all watch them together and talk about how you’d use them. I’d like to hear what you see.’ And he liked a lot of the guys, he really did. But Keon was one — I know he liked him a lot, too. And Josh and I didn’t speak Thursday, really. Maybe he stopped by that morning. But that next day, Friday morning, he FaceTimed me — actually I was still at home before I headed in here. And he was like, ‘What are you thinking?’ And I said, ‘Well, barring somebody blowing me away, I’m going to take Keon.’ And he was pretty pumped.”
The wide receiver will receive extra attention from Allen as the preseason unfolds and he looks to become a potent offensive weapon.
