What did Bills owner say about Keon Coleman? Owner Terry Pegula made controversial remarks about the team's 2024 second-round draft pick during a conversation following the firing of head coach Sean McDermott in January. When asked if GM Brandon Beane had chosen Keon Coleman as their top priority, Pegula stated that the coaching staff was the driving force behind the selection.

While he clarified that Beane would have drafted Coleman, Pegula implied that the pick might have been questionable. Beane responded by taking full responsibility for the decision, stating that he would not trade the player for someone he believed the team could succeed with. Despite the initial criticism, Keon Coleman has shown promise in the 2026 season, recording 217 receiving yards through four games, including a standout 116-yard performance against the Patriots.
