Houston Texans' quarterback C.J. Stroud made an appearance on ESPN College GameDay before Ohio State's victory over Penn State, where he revealed his prediction for the Florida State vs. Duke game. Stroud expressed his admiration for Florida State's wide receiver, Keon Coleman, and his belief that Coleman will become a top draft pick.
"I like Keon Coleman, one of the receivers. I think he’ll be a top draft pick. He’s a beast. I like the offense that they run." Stroud said.
Throughout the 2023 season, Coleman has recorded impressive stats, accumulating 472 yards on 31 catches. This performance has solidified his status as a standout player and likely caught the attention of scouts ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Pro Football Focus' mock draft places the Cleveland Browns at the No. 14 pick, making it a realistic option for the Texans to target Coleman, a 6-foot-4 wideout who has already showcased his ability to make contested catches in his junior year.
With the endorsement from C.J. Stroud and Coleman's impressive performances, it makes him an enticing prospect for the 2024 draft.
