Draft Rewind 2016: Corey Coleman, Cleveland Browns

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about COREY COLEMAN: Baylor, 5105 194 4.38. Junior entry. Three-year starter from Richardson, TX. The 2015 Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation’s top receiver. Unanimous All-America and two-time first-team All-Big 12. He lines up 75% of the time on the left side and 20% in the slot where the Bears try to take advantage of his speed on a safety or a linebacker. He lines up 74% on the line of scrimmage. Coleman had an impressive year catching the ball as he was targeted 47.9% of the time on his 121 routes, but sadly he dropped 8.6% of his targets. He struggles catching the ball cleanly. He also had several double catches in Combine drills. One of the most prolific receivers in Baylor history holding the record for career (33) and single season (20) touchdown receptions. Was the first receiver to put together back-to-back 1000-yard receiving seasons. Totaled 3009 yards on 173 career receptions. Will also contribute as a kickoff return specialist on the next level averaging 26 yards per return. Coleman succeeded catching the ball 72.5% of the time versus man-to-man coverage and 80% versus zone coverage. Baylor receivers read the coverage on the run like the quarterbacks. Explosive burst off the line. Extremely quick getting into a route with elite acceleration out of a cut. Demonstrates outstanding functional vertical speed and an extra gear with the ball in the air. Elusive after the catch showing the ability to make a defender miss with a quick change of direction. Not a lot of showcased route running, as verticals and the quick game are what Baylor make their living on. Aptitude to be a top notch route runner is there. He did not always hustle off the line and you had a good idea he wasn’t getting the ball by watching him. Shows good hands and extension on balls over his head and away from his body. Not a good blocker in stalk block situations. 2015 stats: 74-1363, 18.4 ypr, 20 TD, 111 yds rushing, 5.05 ypc, 0 TD. Medical exclusion at Combine. First/ second round. (A-30 1/4, H-9, VJ-40.5, SS-DNP)
