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.
