Keon Coleman has shown his potential in the NFL for the Buffalo Bills, but apparently, football is not the only sport in which his talent lies.
In a video going viral on social media, the wide receiver can be seen scoring bucket after bucket in a basketball game. According to Dov Kleiman, Coleman played in a celebrity basketball game over the weekend and totally dominated everyone.
“Insane: Bills star WR Keon Coleman could easily play in the NBA. Coleman dropped 60 PTS in a celebrity game this weekend,” Kleiman wrote in the X post while sharing the video.
The talent was always there. Keon Coleman is one of the rare sports stars who was a double-sport player before fully committing to football. He was on his high school basketball and football teams. At the start of his college career with the Michigan State Spartans, Coleman did not leave basketball and played for both programs.
