Keon Coleman is hoping to deliver plenty of touchdowns for the Buffalo Bills next season and beyond, but the former Florida State wide receiver is already handing out free shopping advice.
The Bills selected Coleman in the second round (No. 33 overall) of the NFL Draft on Friday. Coleman then wore a yellow winter jacket to his first press conference the following day. Before he fielded any football questions, a reporter asked him about the coat. Coleman reminded the media that he played at Michigan State for two seasons before transferring to FSU. He then revealed that he bought the coat at Macy’s and shared some tips on how to get good deals there.
“Man, you forgot I went to school in Michigan for two years?” Coleman said. “Guess where I got this from though? You gonna be wrong, but guess. Nah, Macy’s, what you mean? They be on sale on the rack, all the colors. $79, $89, nice little deal. You can get the trench coat for like $100. I’ll take you there personally. I might go get some more colors. I need a blue one and another red one.”
A reporter then asked about the sales Macy’s usually has around Thanksgiving. Coleman said he wouldn’t know because he buys his winter clothing during the warm season to find better deals.
“See, I don’t know nothing about Thanksgiving. I shop like my mom, I get my coats in the summertime,” Coleman said. “You gotta shop a season or two before, just in case. Then it be cheaper. Cuz you go at Thanksgiving, everybody’s there at Thanksgiving, you know what I’m saying?”
The full exchange is worth watching:
Coleman had 50 catches for 658 yards and 11 touchdowns at Florida State last season. He probably would have had an even bigger year if starting quarterback Jordan Travis did not go down with an injury.
With the Bills having traded Stefon Diggs to another AFC team , Coleman will have a chance to make an immediate impact in Buffalo. He also should be able to afford coats that aren’t on the clearance rack, but he sounds like the type of guy who has been taught to always chase the bargain.
