Analyst Predicts Breakout From Bills' 2nd-Year Receiver
Analyst Predicts Breakout From Bills' 2nd-Year Receiver originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scouts were split when the Buffalo Bills drafted Keon Coleman in the second round of the 2024 draft. Some believed that Coleman's size and speed was a deadly combination for the Bills and quarterback Josh Allen. Others had concerns about his consistency as a receiver, and injury problems in college. Advertisement After one season in the league, it seems that each side of the aisle has a point when it comes to the 22-year-old. Coleman missed four games during the season due to a wrist injury, and only caught 29 passes. Despite the low catch total, he averaged over 19 yards per reception - an outrageous mark and one of the highest in football last season. Heading into Year 2 of his NFL journey, one particular analyst believes that a breakout is coming for a fully healthy and energized Coleman. Pro Football Sports Network's Jacob Infante believes second-year wideout Keon Coleman is the breakout player to watch in Buffalo. Advertisement "Amidst a loaded 2024 wide receiver draft class, Keon Coleman had a pretty low volume with just 29 catches," Infante said. "But he made the most of his targets, finishing third in the NFL with 19.2 yards per catch and scoring four touchdowns. 'The Buffalo Bills signed Josh Palmer and Elijah Moore in free agency, but Coleman projects higher than in 2025. A big-bodied target with tremendous ball skills and physicality, expect him to put up bigger numbers in Year 2.' Allen is a league MVP throwing players like Coleman the football. So long as that continues, the Florida State product should be able to excel in his second year in the offense. Perhaps an improved year from Coleman can get people to stop criticizing Buffalo for gifting the Kansas City Chiefs Xavier Worthy just a few picks before.

SGA3K: Gilgeous-Alexander reaches 3,000 points for season, 12th player to do so in NBA history
Fans cheer for Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2) during the first half of Game 1 of the NBA Finals basketball series against the Indiana Pacers Thursday, June 5, 2025, in Oklahoma City. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez) Updated [hour]:[minute] [AMPM] [timezone], [monthFull] [day], [year] OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The milestones keep coming for Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. With his first basket of Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night, Gilgeous-Alexander — the NBA's reigning MVP — reached the 3,000-point mark for the season, including playoffs. The milestone came on a 10-footer with 8:24 left in the opening quarter. He needed only two points to get there Sunday, after scoring 38 in Oklahoma City's Game 1 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. This is the 25th time in NBA history that a player has scored 3,000 points in a season. Michael Jordan did it 10 times, Wilt Chamberlain did it five and 10 other players — Bob McAdoo, Elgin Baylor, James Harden, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Luka Doncic, Rick Barry, Shaquille O'Neal and now Gilgeous-Alexander — have done it once. Gilgeous-Alexander also is the fourth player to score that many points while also handing out at least 600 assists in the same season. Jordan did that three times, while Doncic and Harden have done so once. ___ AP NBA:

Aaron Rodgers was Steelers' ‘third option' at quarterback before pairing came together
The Steelers may have waited around for Aaron Rodgers to finally sign a contract, but that doesn't mean he was their No. 1 choice. In fact, the ex-Jet quarterback was apparently Pittsburgh's third choice for the position, ESPN's Adam Schefter recently reported. The Steelers announced that Rodgers inked a one-year contract with the team after a lengthy waiting game, but the decision to bring in the four-time NFL MVP was out of necessity rather than choice. Advertisement 'This was the third option for the Pittsburgh Steelers,' Schefter said during Friday's 'NFL Live' while discussing the signing. 'They were in on Matthew Stafford and couldn't get done a trade. They tried to re-sign Justin Fields, he opted to go to the New York Jets, where he will meet Rodgers on opening day. And after they couldn't get a trade done for Stafford and couldn't get Fields re-signed, they pivoted to Rodgers.' Aaron Rodgers reacts during the Jets' game against the Colts in November 2024. Robert Sabo for the NY Post The quarterback is coming off a season in which he threw 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, but it wasn't enough to help the Jets reach the lofty goals that were placed upon the team at the beginning of the year — and they finished 5-12. Advertisement The Jets opted to move on from Rodgers earlier this year during a meeting at the team's facility, which the future Hall of Famer later went on to criticize in an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show.' Rodgers was spotted at the Steelers' facility over the weekend, entering the building a little after 8 a.m. on Saturday. Advertisement Aaron Rodgers arrived at the Steelers' facility June 7. WTAE Rodgers' contract is worth $13.65 million and includes $10 million of guaranteed money, as well as incentives that could increase its worth up to $19.5 million. The 41-year-old will wear No. 8 during his stint with the Steelers, which will begin when Pittsburgh vists the Jets in Week 1.
