Skyler Bell prediction spells doom for Keon Coleman's Bills future originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Keon Coleman's Buffalo Bills future for most was already on thin ice entering the offseason, and after the NFL Draft, that was only reinforced.
Yes, Joe Brady and Brandon Beane have said all the right things publicly, but most know Keon's on the clock now.
Especially since the Bills drafted receiver Skyler Bell in the fourth round, a move that many have praised, given what he could give the offense in his rookie season.
And Sports Illustrated's Daniel Flick thinks Bell can be Buffalo's best rookie in 2026.
"The Bills have a solid nucleus of talent in their receiving corps, but Bell is a baller," Flick wrote. "Bell can play inside and outside, and he’s made significant strides with his hands—once a weakness, he morphed into a reliable target for the Huskies.
"He’s tough and can create separation, both of which are huge assets."

Keon Coleman's future in doubt with Bell prediction
If Bell produces in Year 1, and outshines Coleman in the process, for most, that will end the conversation around Keon's future.
A rookie playing better than a player in Year 3 isn't a good look, and yes, we are getting a little ahead of ourselves here, but Coleman doesn't have a lot of wriggle room.
He has to start delivering both on and off the field, because if Bell comes in straight away and is productive, I can nearly bet my house the coaching staff will look his way more often than Keon's.
And if that happens, I fear the writing will be on the wall as far as Coleman's future in Buffalo.
