After sharing his jacket-buying philosophy during his introductory press conference last month, Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman received a bevy of coats from Nike this week.

Coleman took to social media to post a video of himself unboxing a care package from Nike, which included three puffy coats in various colors:

The 2024 second-round pick out of Florida State wore a yellow puffy coat when first addressing the media in Buffalo, and went viral when he explained that he bought the coat from Macy's and got it in on sale by shopping out of season during the summer:

Now, Coleman will have plenty of coats to choose from when he braves the harsh Buffalo winter during the upcoming season.

Although Coleman is from Louisiana and played his college football at Florida State last season, he previously spent two seasons at Michigan State, so the cold won't be anything new to him.

What is new, however, is the dynamic that the 6'3", 213-pound wideout brings to the Buffalo offense.

Throughout quarterback Josh Allen's tenure with the Bills, he has never had a big, physical wide receiver on the outside who he could count on to make contested catches and win 50-50 balls.

Coleman did that regularly during his collegiate career and was a big play waiting to happen at FSU last season, scoring 11 touchdowns.

The Bills' receiving corps underwent some significant changes this offseason, as No. 1 wideout Stefon Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans and No. 2 receiver Gabriel Davis signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency.

Buffalo signed Curtis Samuel in free agency and slot receiver Khalil Shakir is expected to take another step forward after emerging last season, but the biggest key to the Bills' offensive success in 2024 may be Coleman.

If Coleman steps in and makes an instant impact as a starting receiver, the Bills figure to maintain their position as the team to beat in the AFC East and a Super Bowl contender.
