Bills HOFer Andre Reed gives rookie Keon Coleman a birthday present

Rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman was a media gem in his first month as a member of the Buffalo Bills. Turning just 21 this week, on his birthday, the Hall of Fame legend Andrew Reed continued the fun when he surprised Coleman at the league’s Rookie Premier in Los Angeles.

Coleman reached out to Reed earlier this month, telling him it was important for him to learn from some of the legends of the game — even more so, one who spent his career playing for the team that drafted him as the first overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Reed understood the mission of welcoming the rookie to the league and showed up wearing a yellow parka and offering Coleman cookies – both of which were references to the new Bills wide receiver’s first media day in Orchard Park, New York.

Reed also welcomed the rookie to Bills Mafia by giving him a chain necklace containing a plastic chicken wing. Coleman, being the character he is, first checked to see if it was a real chicken wing, then told his Hall of Fame mentor that if he put the collar on, he would would keep.

One fan favorite welcomes another. A legendary gold jacket owner wearing a now legendary yellow jacket. Two media sensations united. The Bills’ all-time wide receiver guides the latest addition to the wide receiver room with hopes of a return to the Super Bowl in the near future. Is there a better birthday gift?

Happy birthday, Keon – welcome to Bills Mafia!
