Scouting Report: Strengths
- Work in progress as a pass rusher, with upfield burst and flexibility to dip and scrape.
- Intelligent player who can play "MIKE" linebacker despite his lack of size because of his instincts and ability to find the ball in traffic.
- Coleman takes proper angles and shows impressive closing speed. He’s also outstanding in space and is one of the best coverage guys in this class.
- He can be used as a rangy run defender inside, instinctive when it comes to locating the ball with the quickness to get to it before blockers can react at the second level.
- Coleman plays bigger than his listed size, with the functional strength and motor to take on and hold ground against much bigger blockers.
- Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Loses size battle to many tight ends and is easily pushed away on out routes.
- Coleman doesn’t play with the functional strength and physicality to fight through blocks; he’ll need to be covered up in order to maximize his playmaking.
- He’s more of a grab-and-drag tackler who could stand to be more violent as a hitter.
