Overview
Coleman has been an impact player for Auburn coming off the edge. He is a tough competitive defender that doesn’t have the size to be effective consistently against the run. Coleman is a projection to outside linebacker and is best suited for a 3-4 defensive scheme. He will need lots of technique work in coverage and may not have the speed and quickness to be effective in man to man schemes. Coleman’s strong suit is coming off the edge as a pass rusher as well as penetrating into the backfield to disrupt the running game. Coleman is a bit of an overachiever that is successful with effort, technique and instincts.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Lacks ideal height and reach to keep blockers off his body. Only possesses average pure speed after initial burst. Will pursue hard on the backside but only has average range. Limited coverage agility and quickness after spending his time as a defensive end in college.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
