Stevie Johnson projects Coleman for 600–800 yards in 2026 if he sustains 60 yards per game.

Stevie Johnson projects Coleman for 600–800 yards in 2026 with a 60-yard-per-game average minimum, which would exceed 1,000 yards if sustained; Johnson believes the sky's the limit if Coleman improves the mental aspect of the game. The 2024 second-rounder is coming off a disappointing 38-catch, 404-yard, 4-TD 2025 season in which he was benched, but 2026 is described as pivotal for his future with the Bills. Johnson was surprised by Coleman's maturity and work ethic during spring workouts at USD, noting he was 'locked in, wanting to learn things, open to constructive criticism' rather than immature as Johnson had expected. Coleman is working with Johnson to improve route-running and mental processing, including game-within-the-game concepts such as breaking out of routes early when a cornerback plays off coverage to increase availability to the quarterback. Coleman's 6-foot-3, 213-pound frame and mentality align with Johnson's (6-foot-2, 210 pounds), and Coleman described their dynamic as 'two knuckleheads going at it' with shared IQ and love for the game.
