Was on here a few weeks ago trying to tell you all about him. He will be leaving after this season and you need to see his footwork on two of the catches from yesterday.

 
At the time of Coleman's recruitment, he was Baylor's high rated wr recruit ever.

Returned kicks his red shirt freshman and sophmore years.

Occasionally lines up in the backfield as running back when Baylor wants to keep the defense from substituting.

Baylor fans compare this run after the catch to Steve Smith's game.

He is listed as 5-11 190, but probably closer to 5-10

 
Josh Doctson versus Coleman on Black Friday could be a great matchup to watch. Especially if both teams are undefeated.

 
Rotoworld:

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler notes that Baylor redshirt junior WR Corey Coleman draws "some comparisons to Emmanuel Sanders."

"The NFL has yet to see a wide receiver from Art Briles' system translate and produce similar numbers in the pro game, but Coleman could break that streak. He plays bigger than he'll measure with the route athleticism to create separation before and after the catch," Brugler wrote. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound deep-threat has been on a tear the last six games, hauling in 41 passes for 877 yards with 16 touchdowns. Our own Josh Norris ranks Coleman as the top draft-eligible receiver in the country.

He's just seems to be always open. With 14 Td's coming into last week, I can't imagine WV didn't gameplan hard to not let him beat them. My conclusion: he's unstoppable.

 
Rotoworld:

Baylor redshirt junior WR Corey Coleman caught six passes for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 45-27 win over Iowa State.

QB Seth Russell didn't put up monster numbers, but Coleman caught a pair of touchdown passes, anyway. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound redshirt junior hauled in a 36-yard score just over a minute into Saturday's win. He wouldn't score his second touchdown until there was just 2:13 remaining. That one came from backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who entered after the Bears built themselves a big fourth-quarter lead. Coleman's now caught multiple touchdowns in six of Baylor's seven games, all adding up to a whopping 18. Saturday's contest was the first in which Coleman's been held under 100 yards receiving.

Corey Coleman - WR - Bears

Baylor redshirt junior WR Corey Coleman caught one pass for eight yards in Friday's 28-21 2OT loss to TCU.

Oh dear. Whether it was the rain, injury (Coleman took a hard, possibly-late hit in the first half) or the existence of Chris Johnson (who threw for just 62 yards), Coleman was more or less non-existent in Friday's loss. The 5-foot-10, 192-pound redshirt junior's now failed to catch a touchdown in three consecutive games after notching at least one in each of Baylor's first eight contests. It's been a disappointing stretch run for the DFS stalwart, but that does little to tarnish what's been one of the best receiving campaigns in the nation. With one game remaining on the Bear schedule, Coleman's caught 67 passes for 1,314 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Rotoworld take:

Baylor redshirt junior WR Corey Coleman announced that he will forego his final season of eligibility and enter the draft.

Coleman was announced with the seniors before Saturday's game against Texas, removing any suspense about his intentions. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Coleman, a Biletnikoff finalist, has a Round 2 floor. He has a very real chance to crack the first, though, and we think he should. Rotoworld's Josh Norris ranks Coleman as the No. 1 WR in the class, writing that, despite his height, Coleman can "win in both the 'big' and 'small' receiver games." Coleman leads the FBS with 20 receiving touchdowns and was third among receivers with 119.5 yards receiving per game entering Saturday's no-quarterback debacle against Texas.

Corey Coleman - WR - Bears

Baylor redshirt junior WR Corey Coleman is an "exciting playmaker with his ability as a vertical threat and catch-and-go receiver," CBS Sports' Dane Brugler observes.

"He has quick hands to pluck the ball away from his body with the coordination and leaping ability to play above the rim, making natural adjustments on the ball. The biggest question mark surrounding Coleman and his next level fit is his transition from Balor's offense to a more traditional pro-style scheme," Brugler writes. While Coleman gets knocked for the system he played in, the Baylor prospect still hauled in 74 catches for 1,363 yards and 20 touchdowns. Brugler notes that Coleman "wasn't asked to run a full route tree in college with almost all of his production coming on hitches, in-cuts and go patterns."

Corey Coleman - WR - Bears

An NFL scout who spoke with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said that Baylor redshirt junior WR Corey Coleman reminds him of Anquan Boldin.

After making the Boldin comparison, the scout said, "The whole thing will be, 'Can he run a good 40?' He's very thick and strong and short. Competitive." Coleman was named winner of the Biletnikoff Award last week thanks to a hearty 74-1363-20 receiving line. CBS Sports draft analyst Dane Brugler harbors no concerns about the 5-foot-10, 190-pound redshirt junior's ability as a downfield threat, 40-time be darned, noting in early December that Coleman is an "exciting playmaker with his ability as a vertical threat and catch-and-go receiver."

Baylor junior WR Corey Coleman will miss the school's bowl game against UNC due to sports hernia surgery.

Coleman will have surgery on Monday and will be healed by the time the NFL Combine comes around. The injury apparently occurred prior to the school's game against Oklahoma, so Coleman played with the ailment for four games. Coleman finishes his Baylor career with 33 receiving touchdowns, a school record. Running back Shock Linwood will also miss the game.

Baylor junior WR Corey Coleman has "outstanding speed, toughness and instincts," NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah observes.

Baylor's first Biletnikoff Award winner had an outstanding season for the Bears in 2015, posting 74 catches for 1,363 yards and a whopping 20 touchdowns. This season, Coleman averaged 18.4 yards per catch, with 113.6 receiving yards per game. Evaluators will still question Coleman's height and the limited route tree he ran at Baylor.

Rotoworld:

Rotoworld's Josh Norris ranks Baylor WR Corey Coleman as the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2016 NFL Draft.

"Functional athleticism helped Coleman win both 'small' and 'big' while at Baylor, and the latter is difficult to find with a 5’10/190 lbs receiver," he wrote. "Coleman will win contested catches, elevating over corners or adjusting with body control to haul in targets. Add that on top of vertical speed, quickness in and out of breaks and yards after catch ability, and Coleman has the tools to be an all-around receiver." The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Coleman logged 74 catches for 1,363 yards and 20 touchdowns this past season to win the Biletnikoff Award.

Rotoworld:

ESPN's Kevin Weidl sees some Antonio Brown in Baylor WR Corey Coleman's game.

"Explosive twitch with similar play speed to Brown coming out of CMU," Weidl began, adding that Coleman needs to refine his style, namely as a route runner. Josh Norris ranks Coleman higher than anyone at No. 3 overall, primarily due to his big play ability both as a receiver and after the catch. Obviously Antonio Brown is the ceiling for Coleman, as Brown might be the best receiver in the NFL. More importantly than the comparison is the point that the two theoretically could win in similar ways.
 
Rotoworld:

Corey Coleman - WR - Bears

NFL Media analysts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks discussed the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles as potential landing spots for Baylor WR Corey Coleman.

"The Philadelphia Eagles, somebody to take that top off the defense, stretch things out," Jeremiah said. "You've got your tight ends you can work in, you've got Jordan Matthews in the middle of the field." Brooks believes a coach with plenty of success in the college game and a history of offensive innovation would provide the ideal steward for Coleman's career. "(I think) Chip Kelly would also like to have Corey Coleman with the San Francisco 49ers," he said. "They desperately need more speed on the perimeter. Corey Coleman can provide that, and the big-play ability." ESPN's Kevin Weidl recently compared Coleman to a sort of Antonio Brown.

"He's just a bad dude, man. That guy is tough now. He'll pull your heart out and watch it stop beating."

Corey Coleman - WR - Bears

Baylor head coach Art Briles highlighted how competitive WR Corey Coleman is in an interview earlier this year with ESPN's Scott Van Pelt.

"He's just a bad dude, man," Briles began. "That guy is tough now. He'll pull your heart out and watch it stop beating." Some have questioned Coleman's effort and competitiveness, and expect others to follow suit after digging in, due to the plays he takes off either running routes or blocking. Smart Football's Chris Brown briefly wrote on the topic and stated the Baylor receivers are coached to take these plays off in order to conserve energy. The team can't ask the receivers to run sprints for 100 plays a game.

If Leonte Carroo played for Baylor, he'd be a top 15 pick. If Corey Coleman played for Rutgers, he'd be a 3rd Rounder.

Come on. Alot of people expect coleman to own the combine in which case his dynasty stock should explode. He is kind of short though.

And didnt coleman do really well with 3rd string qb play?

 
If he comes in under 5'10'', which some people think, history says he's not going too high.

Everyone loves him though, it seems.

I see absolutely no comparison between Boldin and Coleman. :shrug: Weird.

NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah noted that Baylor WR Corey Coleman "reminds [him] a lot of Steve Smith."


"Coleman is one of my favorite players to watch on tape," Jeremiah wrote. "He is a dynamic athlete and he generates a lot of big plays. His blend of speed, toughness and instincts reminds me a lot of Steve Smith." The analyst does have questions as to whether he'll measure up to his listed size of 5-foot-11, 190 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine, though. "I've been told he's actually closer to 5-9 than 5-11. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised," Jeremiah concluded.

Rotoworld:

College Football 24/7 writer Chase Goodbread notes that Baylor WR Corey Coleman "could set the bar at his position in multiple events in Indianapolis."


Goodbread's speculation on Coleman's potential combine explosion is rooted in very real results from the past. "Before he even began training specifically for the combine, he tested off the charts in multiple combine events," the analyst wrote. He went on to tick off a few, including a previously recorded 4.38 time in the 40, a 40-inch vertical jump and a time of 6.62 seconds in the three-cone drill. With the cone drill, that 6.62 mark would have topped that of every receiver who attended the combine last season. While he's "undersized" at 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, his skill-set's tailored for a huge combine performance.

A lot of people get hyped pre-combine. The timed results usually are overblown, but vert, broad and bench should be easy to chart if they've maxed out recently. I am very interested in what CC does at the combine.

I'm also very interested in how these NextGen stats are going to parlay into the scouting process. It's only a matter of time we get a glance at true top speed in pads while they are at the collegiate level.

NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks likens Baylor WR Corey Coleman to Steve Smith.
This is becoming a popular comp, with Pro Football Focus and NFL Media colleague Daniel Jeremiah both making it recently. ESPN's Kevin Weidl, on the other hand, says Coleman shares similarities with Antonio Brown. This is Brooks' take: "Electric playmaker with exceptional speed, quickness and burst. Coleman is a touchdown waiting to happen when he gets the ball on the perimeter. He is capable of turning short passes into big gains with his explosive combination of speed and elusiveness, yet he also torches opponents as a deep-ball specialist." Brooks tosses out the 49ers, Rams, Bengals and Vikings as organizations who may come calling. As for the downside of Coleman's evaluation, Brooks mentioned that his limited route tree at Baylor concerns scouts. Coleman was essentially relegated to running hitch, slant, go and post routes. Outside of that and his height, its all aces for Rotoworld's No. 1 WR. Due to a sports hernia, Coleman will not run the 40-yard dash in Indy.

An NFL scout who spoke with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel indicated that Baylor WR Corey Coleman will need to expand his route-running when he hits the pros.
Said the scout, "It'll take a little bit of time when [Coleman] comes in the league just like all the Baylor receivers because they don't run a route tree," adding that "there's a development to his game that he needs." The 5-foot-11, 194-pound former Bear might need to polish up that aspect of his game, but the same scout wasn't all work and no play, calling Coleman a "really dynamic player." Another scout who spoke with the Journal-Sentinel compared the star wideout to Anquan Boldin. He's also drawn several comps to Steve Smith. We like the Smith comparison a bit more, because Coleman has the speed element that Boldin never quite did.

Using data captured by Matt Harmon of Backyard Banter, SB Nation's Arif Hassan notes that there is not a clean NFL stylistic comp for Baylor WR Corey Coleman.
The upshot of no clean comp is that Coleman is getting compared to everybody under the sun. Hassan posted a hilarious master list of Coleman comparisons that included 29 players, including vastly different profiles like Tavon Austin and Anquan Boldin, or Reggie Bush and Odell Beckham. The closest comp from Waldman's data turned out to be Percy Harvin (84.8) because of incredible workout numbers. "Coleman’s relative struggles against man coverage and double teams are well-represented by Percy Harvin, but Coleman succeeded much more often on deep routes and hooks, though was more likely to drop the ball than Harvin," Hassan wrote. "Almost as close as Harvin was Odell Beckham, who matched Coleman on each route more or less, but dropped the ball less often, and had worse strength and explosion scores."

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler spoke with another NFL scout who compared Baylor WR Corey Coleman to Steve Smith.
 
Look, we love Coleman. Probably more than any other website or group of evaluators. But he is not Steve Smith. Smitty was rare at going up and winning at the catch point for a sub-6-foot receiver. Now, after the catch there could be some similarities, as both are electric at creating yards in the open field. Coleman is an outstanding athlete and should be a first-round selection, but growth is needed, mainly in areas where he has flashed (strength in contested situations).

Texans HC Bill O'Brien was working closely with Baylor WR Corey Coleman at Wednesday's pro day.
A picture of B.O.B. giving Coleman instruction is available at the link below. This is a marriage that could absolutely happen. In fact, many analysts have mocked the local product Coleman to Houston at No. 22. CBS Sports' Rob Rang did so recently, writing: "Now that the Texans made the big investment in quarterback Brock Osweiler, they must provide him with weapons. [DeAndre] Hopkins is a star who could find even more opportunities with a vertical threat like Coleman -- who led the country with 20 touchdowns last season -- drawing safeties deep."
