Bills press conference goes off the rails over Keon Coleman draft blame
NY Post
It’s finger-pointing season in Buffalo — and according to the owner, Brandon Beane’s hands are clean.
In a bizarre scene Wednesday at the team’s end-of-season press conference after falling to the Broncos in the Divisional Round and then firing head coach Sean McDermott, team owner Terry Pegula threw second-year receiver Keon Coleman under the bus.
When asked about the 2024 second-round pick who was a healthy scratch at times and appeared to be given up on at one point this season, Pegula interrupted his general manager and now president of football operations Brandon Beane to defend him and shovel some dirt over his ex-coach.
“Can I interrupt?” Pegula said during a press conference as Beane was answering a question about Coleman. “I’ll address the Keon situation. The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon. I’m not saying Brandon wouldn’t have drafted him, but he wasn’t his next choice. That was Brandon being a team player and taking advice from his coaching staff, who felt strongly about the player. [Brandon] has taken for some reason heat over, but I’m here to tell you the true story.”
Coleman is still under contract for two more years and is the highest-drafted Bills receiver since they selected Sammy Watkins with the No. 4 pick in 2014.
The Bills famously traded with the Chiefs, allowing their rivals to grab receiver Xavier Worthy, and then took Coleman one pick ahead of Chargers star Ladd McConkey.
