Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is well aware that he's been the subject of much criticism from fans and the media. Coleman was even the subject of some offseason debate about whether ex-coach Sean McDermott deserved blame for wanting to draft him.
But Coleman says the criticism doesn't matter to him, because it doesn't come from anyone who's on the field with him.
"None of them going to come lace them up and try to stand in front of me," Coleman said, via ESPN. "People are going to say what they want to say. At the end of the day, my job is to come out here, put my cleats on, strap them up and prove my worth here."
Through two seasons, Coleman's production -- 67 catches for 960 yards and eight touchdowns -- hasn't been what the Bills were hoping for when they selected him with the 33rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Coleman sees that changing this year.
"It's time to put it all together," Coleman said. "[Outside comments] I don't really care to hear them. It's time for me to just put it out there on the field."
