How Can Keon Diggs? With Bills Wins, Not Clicks
The Buffalo Bills have certainly struck entertainment gold with the 33rd overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft. But have they struck receiver gold?
Former Florida State Seminoles receiver Keon Coleman has created quite the following over the past two weeks. His sense of humor and personality have endeared him to Bills fans everywhere.

While the off the field interviews and videos are fun, Coleman knows that it’s wins, and not clicks, that will move the needle for the Bills Mafia.
And more specifically, as unfair as it sounds? Stefon Diggs - who was pretty good at the "clicks game,'' too - is out, having been traded to the Texans.
Somebody needs to replace that production. On the field ... not on Twitter.
"I'm aware of it,'' Coleman said of the media buzz. "But ... I'm happy to keep the main thing the main thing and get back to playing ball," said Coleman. "So, the hype can be there all it wants but I still have to make plays on the field.''
There is certainly a lot of pressure that comes with replacing Diggs as the No. 1 receiver in Buffalo, if indeed that is what the rookie is asked to do.

But Coleman’s easy-going personality and attitude will take some of the edge off for him, and for the time being, the Bills Mafia. Catching passes from one of the league's best gunslingers in Josh Allen won't hurt either.
At the end of the day, the main thing that Coleman will be truly judged on is his on-the-field performance on Sundays.
To the Bills, and their fans, it’s comforting to know that Keon’s main focus is helping the team win football games. And maybe that focus will create Diggs-level production ... on the field, not off of it.
