A comment aired on Hard Knocks potentially conflicts with a recent claim from Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula that the decision to select wide receiver Keon Coleman was driven by the team’s former coaching staff rather than general manager Brandon Beane.
The Hard Knocks clip shows Bills staffers telling Beane that Coleman had run a 4.57-second 40-yard dash during the 2024 NFL draft combine.
“I’m glad he ran that,” Beane answered. “That’ll help to get him.”
When Beane was asked about the decision to draft Coleman in a recent press conference, Pegula interjected to say the “coaching staff pushed to draft Keon” while Beane was “being a team player.”
Pegula fired former head coach Sean McDermott while promoting Beane on Monday, two days after the Bills were eliminated from the divisional round with an overtime loss to the Denver Broncos.
