I guess there's more than just being 6'6". FWIW, I thought he'd get drafted somewhere around the 4th. I'm surprised he went undrafted.

I like him with the Saints but don't expect to see him feature this year.
Could be another Colstonesque steal for them.

Yep, and he was absolutely awful and is now out of the league. The NFL has learned that drafting WR's whose sole redeeming quality is simply being tall, is a bad idea. Coleman could have bionic knees and it wouldn't change the fact that he is a horrendous football player. And THAT is why he was undrafted.theENGLISHseahawk":59a8gwl7 said:Ramses Barden who you refer to had almost identical physical measurables but ran a slower forty time and went in round three.

NorthDallas40oz":2uw79mz1 said:Guys, Brandon Coleman went undrafted because he is absolutely horrid, it's that simple. I've seen him play, quite a bit. He runs one route (Go's down the sideline), can't get any separation whatsoever, and has tennis racquets for hands. At best he's a poor (nay, destitute) man's Ramses Barden, and Ramses Barden was a poor man's nothing.

If he stays healthy and in that offense, we'll see.

When compared to Coleman it really does show the difference between a 6'6" receiver who deserves the first round hype (not taking character concerns into consideration) and a 6'6" player overhyped on potential. Seriously, Coleman never has and never will play the game like DGB. I don't mean to knock Coleman, but the gap between those two is so far apart it's a bit comical now to think he was ever considered a first round talent.
