Bills rookie receiver already earning offensive coordinator Joe Brady’s trust

The bond between the offensive coordinator and the rookie wide receiver already seems strong at One Bills Drive.

After being drafted 33rd overall by the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago, Keon Coleman spent Friday’s rookie minicamp session in constant communication with OC Joe Brady.

“We just had a great relationship. Just being that close with my offensive coordinator means a lot to me,” said Coleman after.

Coleman, a Louisiana native who made 11 touchdown receptions for Florida State in 2023, was apparently aware of Brady from the coach’s one-year tenure as LSU’s passing game coordinator in 2019 .

“He knows what he’s talking about on the football field. He’s a great OC. I think he’s probably the best in the league at what he does. He loves the ball, I love the ball and we understand each other. He was in Louisiana for his visit,” Coleman said.

Brady, who is one of the youngest coordinators in the NFL at 34, seems to identify with his players.

“He reminds me a little of myself, just a little older, but he can still crack a few jokes here and there, have a good laugh,” Coleman said.

The Bills will be back with more rookie minicamp on Saturday.
