Keon Coleman, a wide receiver from Florida State, showcased a notable performance at the NFL Combine, despite running a slower 40-yard dash time of 4.61 seconds at 213 pounds. This time places him in a unique category, as over the last 20 years, only three wide receivers drafted in the first four rounds have weighed 213 pounds or less and ran no faster than 4.64 seconds: Jarvis Landry (MIA), Vincent Brown (LAC), and David Bell (CLE). Coleman's performance in the gauntlet drill was particularly impressive, where he reached a top speed of 20.36 mph, the fastest of any receiver in the last two seasons. His ability to demonstrate game speed, despite a slower 40-yard dash time, was highlighted by his top speed during a go route, which tied for the second-fastest in his group at 21.71 mph.
