The legendary Bills player saw the task at hand and took advantage of Coleman’s widespread appeal by making an unexpected cameo at the league’s Rookie Premier.
In his first month with the Buffalo Bills, rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman has impressed the media. Coleman was surprised at the league’s Rookie Premier in Los Angeles by Hall of Fame star Andre Reed, who turned 21 this week. Coleman’s birthday celebration continued the festivities.
Coleman contacted Reed earlier this month to express how much it meant to him to pick up tips from some of the game’s greats, particularly one who played for the team that selected him with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
In keeping with the task of acclimating the rookie to the NFL, Reed turned up with a yellow jacket on and cookies for Coleman, a nod to the new wide receiver for the Bills’ inaugural media day in Orchard Park, New York.
Along with welcoming the youngster to Bills Mafia, Reed gave him a chain necklace that was adorned with a fake chicken wing. As the kind guy that he is, Coleman first made sure the wing was authentic before telling his Hall of Fame mentor he was retaining the necklace if he put it on. A beloved by one welcomes another.
