Overview

Coleman started for three years at Tennessee-Chattanooga (though he missed four games in 2011 due to a sprained right shoulder) after transferring from Tennessee, where he lost the starting job during spring practices his sophomore year. He is a good-sized, accurate passer who has shown starting qualities at the next level. He has fourth-round value based on his skill set and production.

Analysis

Strengths

Coleman has a quick set-up and plays with a good sense of urgency. He is athletic when scrambling and can place it on receivers both in the short and long passing situations. He is a leader and makes good decisions. Coleman can really drive the ball into his receivers and shows NFL-level zip on his throws.

Weaknesses

Coleman has struggled with his route progression and being able to locate second receivers. He is aware in the pocket but can get rattled by pressure at times and will hold onto the ball and take sacks rather than distribute to viable outlets.

96-100 Future Hall of Famer Top Pick A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played

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.
