From the episode

His route tree has really changed here. His go-route percentage went from 28% in year one, 21% in year two. It's down to 14% so far this year. He's running a lot more of the out routes, which I think he has looked good on.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Coleman's route tree refinement and efficiency gains signal a legitimate breakout trajectory.

Coleman's route tree has evolved significantly: go-route percentage dropped from 28% in year one to 21% in year two to 14% this season, replaced by more out routes and corner routes where he has looked good. His efficiency metrics reflect the improvement: first downs per route jumped to 11% from 6.8% and 8.3% in his first two years; yards per route increased to 2.4 from 1.3 in 2025. Matt Harmon notes this is a meaningful change that makes Coleman a consideration if DJ Moore misses time.
