Joe Brady Says Keon Coleman Will Be a Buffalo Bill in 2026

Brady’s vow follows owner Terry Pegula’s criticism of coaching input on the 2024 draft pick.

Overview

  • Promoted earlier this week, Brady said he advocated drafting Coleman and reaffirmed his confidence in the young receiver.
  • He declared the 22-year-old "is going to be" on Buffalo's 2026 roster, noting success depends on handling responsibilities off the field.
  • The public backing contrasts with Pegula’s postseason comments that coaches pushed the Coleman selection while defending GM Brandon Beane.
  • Coleman finished 2025 with 38 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns and was benched or inactive at times for disciplinary reasons.
  • Quarterback Josh Allen pledged not to give up on Coleman and said they will work together to help him contribute next season.
