A look at Antonio Coleman
Althought many people would look at our undrafted free agent signing of antonio coleman as just another special teams pick up I think this guy could be a serious contributor in the pass rushing aspect of our defense. He led the SEC in sacks and was rated pretty close behind OLB pass rushing prospects like Eric Norwood and Everson Griffin.
After watching some videos of him I can see that this kid brings a mean agressive demeanor to the field and I like it. Not to mention the kid's real quick around the corner if you watch some of the clips in the video linked under. He's big (260) but he plays fast on the line of scrimmage and makes a lot of plays in the back field as well as racking up 10 sacks in his latest season. You can't say he hasn't played against good competition either because he plays against pretty top notch competition coming from Auburn and Playing in the SEC.
I am going to make the bold prediction that he impresses at training camp and moves up the depth chart to get more playing time on passing downs and has a better rookie season than Maybin(I know it's not saying much). I don't wanna say he's gonna be great or even a starter in his career but looking at his credentials and some film on him (not that I'm any college scout), I would say he has AT LEAST potential to give the bills some noticeable, positive value.
Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Coleman may make the team...
at OLB (and ST), simply because of our lack of depth at the position.. He’s an intriguing prospect, that most view as a pass rusher only, but lacking the moves to provide it in the NFL…
The draft dawns a new year for Buffalo Bills fans, so let optimism reign supreme!!! After all, we are now, UNDEFEATED!!!!
Nice highlight reel...
Thanks for the post! I hope this guy can play like this at the NFL level. Hopefully the addition of Troup means we won’t be so soft in the middle and teams will have to run at this kid. Better run coverage than what we have seen out of Maybin. He had great gap control, didn’t bite on run plays or play action, chased a running back down from behind in the backfield, has a great first step, and was a pocket collapsing quarterback sacking menace. I like him already…and like the comments on YouTube said…how did this guy not get drafted?
Meh
I was much more impressed with his play against the run than the pass. He’s long enough and strong enough to string those plays out on the edge. In the NFL, he probably won’t be able to get to the QB until he adds some strength, because he’s not quick enough to beat tackles that way.
