With the wide receiver position unsettled, Coleman is the second wide receiver the Browns have reportedly met with, joining Mississippi’s Laquon Treadwell.

Coleman is the 2015 Biletnikoff Award winner, the first wide receiver from Baylor to earn the honor. He is the latest in an increasing line of NFL wide receivers from the self-styled “WR U,” which includes the likes of Kendall Wright, Terrance Williams and, of course, Josh Gordon. Coleman led the FBS in touchdown receptions in 2015 and was voted a unanimous All-American. He leaves Baylor as the program’s leader in career touchdowns, single-season touchdowns and single-game touchdowns.

During his final two seasons with the Bears, Coleman averaged 69 receptions for 1,241 yards and 16 touchdowns.

According to his draft profile at NFL.com, Coleman is a:

"Dangerous vertical talent with the ability to get over the top of defenders who fail to recognize his blazing quickness off the line of scrimmage. Coleman can get instant separation to create favorable passing windows and is one of the top playmakers in this draft. Coleman’s issues with drops near the middle of the field could be a concern if teams see him next as a slot receiver due to his lack of size. Regardless, he can line up outside and win and he offers immediate punt return help."

Coleman was reportedly the “star” at Baylor’s Pro Day (for what that is worth), although there are still questions surrounding his size (5-feet-11, 194 pounds) and the limits of Baylor’s offense will hurt his transition to the NFL.

Just don’t tell that to Coleman.

“I feel like I’m the best receiver in the draft,” Coleman told CBS Sports. “I can do pretty much everything: kick return, punt return, inside receiver and outside receiver.”

In addition to playing wide receiver, Coleman could also fill the void in the return game left by the departed Travis Benjamin.

If the Browns are interested in Coleman it seems unlikely that they would select him with the No. 2 overall pick in the first round, although a new regime may hold wide receivers in higher regard than the previous one It seems more likely that they are doing their homework on Coleman in case an opportunity presents itself to move down in the first round on draft night.
