What I've noticed with Coleman early in Year 3 is that he's finally understanding how to get open and "stay open" against zone. He's not running through voids in coverage.

Coleman improving zone-coverage processing and route creativity in Year 3.

Coleman is finally understanding how to get open and stay open against zone coverage in Year 3; he's processing coverage faster and recognizing when he's already open in stages of the route. He's also grasping that creativity in route-running is needed to get open or stay open for Josh Allen. While Coleman is still not separating at a regular clip and is unlikely to be a consistent man-coverage winner in the NFL, his improved zone-coverage processing and route creativity represent meaningful growth as a player under Joe Brady's offensive system.
