NFL stars Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco responded to the widely-shared press conference of former Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman, following his selection by the Buffalo Bills in the second round of the NFL Draft. During the press event, Coleman discussed a yellow jacket he was wearing, mentioning he bought it at Macy’s for less than $100. He expressed his desire to also acquire red and blue jackets, coinciding with the Bills’ team colors.
Sharpe kicked off his reaction with enthusiasm, declaring, “That’s my guy. I love it.” Ochocinco, on the other hand, delved deeper, interpreting Coleman’s demeanor as a reflection of his upbringing.
“His energy, his aura. Clearly, he’s mentally ahead. And that foundation starts at home. That discipline he’s displaying—here he is, fresh into the NFL, just drafted, and he’s already got it together mentally, especially with money matters. If he’s already financially conscious like that, we don’t need to worry about him. Now, if he brings that same energy we saw in that press conference onto the field and maintains the same tenacity I saw at FSU? Game over, man,” expressed Ochocinco.
Sharpe elaborated further, highlighting Coleman’s potential, stating, “He could be special, just listen to how he talks. That makes advertisers and sponsors eager to support him. He’s got the personality, the charisma. What I admire about him—a lot of athletes make a crucial error, Ocho, you know what they do? They spend money they haven’t even received yet.”
Later, Ochocinco reiterated the influence of Coleman’s upbringing by his parents, emphasizing their role in shaping his character.
“He’s got his head on straight, and that begins at home. That’s all thanks to mom and dad. That’s parental influence right there, and the discipline is already instilled,” stated Ochocinco.
With Stefon Diggs’ move to the Houston Texans, there’s a widespread belief that Keon Coleman, the former Seminole, could quickly become a significant asset for the Buffalo Bills, partnering with quarterback Josh Allen.
