Former Missouri Tigers wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. is gaining attention as a promising NFL draft prospect following several impressive performances during Senior Bowl practices. His route-running skills and explosive first step off the line of scrimmage have caught the eyes of scouts and fans alike, especially on social media.
Throughout the practices, Coleman faced off against a number of future NFL defensive backs, including Davison Igbinosun from Ohio State. He showcased his talent by making key catches and scoring touchdowns in various drills. However, it is important to note that these performances occurred during practice, and the real test will come during the Senior Bowl game itself, scheduled for Saturday afternoon at 1:30 PM.
As of now, draft analysts at Tankathon have ranked Coleman as the No. 144 player overall and the No. 21 wide receiver in the upcoming draft class. His stock is quickly rising in draft circles, and he has the potential to elevate it even further with a strong showing in the game.
In addition to Coleman”s progress, Missouri”s defensive end coach Brian Early is in Mobile, Alabama, to scout one of his former players, pass rusher Zion Young. Like Coleman, Young is also making waves in the pre-draft process, underscoring the talent emerging from the Missouri program.
On a separate note, the Tigers recently announced the signing of transfer linebacker Bobby Washington Jr. on social media, further bolstering their roster. Two other players, wide receiver Cayden Lee and quarterback Austin Simmons, have also been recognized in CBS Sports” top-100 transfer list. Having both previously played together at Ole Miss, their partnership is highly anticipated for the upcoming season.
This weekend, Mizzou Arena will be bustling with various sporting events and exciting giveaways, which adds to the excitement surrounding the Tigers” athletic programs.
