Buffalo Bills Rising Star Keon Coleman in Awe of Josh Allen’s Relentless Leadership: “I Tried to Beat Him to the Stadium—Didn’t Happen”

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has seen greatness up close—and he’s not keeping quiet about it. After wrapping up his rookie year, the 2024 second-round pick opened up about quarterback Josh Allen’s unmatched dedication, calling the MVP quarterback a “relentless grinder” and a major reason for Buffalo’s 2025 Super Bowl hopes.

“Josh is always the first at Highmark Stadium,” Coleman said during minicamp, recalling his amazement. “Workouts start at 9 a.m.—I’d show up at 8, he’s already there. One day I came in at 7:30, still there. I thought I’d beat him and arrived at 6 one morning. Josh was already grinding.”

The story, shared on social media, sent Bills Mafia into a frenzy. “Keon sees Josh’s grind—future’s bright!” one fan posted on X, highlighting the growing chemistry between the young receiver and Buffalo’s franchise star.

Allen, fresh off a stellar 2024 season with 4,122 passing yards and 35 touchdowns, has continued to lead by example, earning praise from head coach Sean McDermott: “Josh sets the tone,” he told reporters.

Coleman, despite a wrist injury last season, still hauled in 42 passes for 496 yards and has earned a projected starting role opposite Khalil Shakir. His growth, many say, is a direct reflection of Allen’s mentorship. The rookie has become known for “asking the right questions,” as noted by team insiders, showing maturity beyond his years.

As Buffalo navigates tight cap space and moves forward without Stefon Diggs, all eyes are on the Allen-Coleman connection. And with Coleman now matching Allen’s grind, Bills Mafia has reason to believe this duo could be the key to finally bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo.

Stay tuned—training camp is just getting started, and the Bills’ fire is only growing.
