Keon Coleman thinks he may be the missing piece to the Buffalo Bills’ offense.
When speaking to the media at the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday, the Florida State wide receiver talked about his formal meeting with the Bills and what he could do with quarterback Josh Allen.

I get to learn from a guy of that stature that’s been in the league for a while, doing it consistently. So I’m just coming in as a sponge and I’m not mad if I don’t have to take the wheel right away. That’s a learning experience for me to get to learn from him and when I do get the wheel it’s going to be something…
