With his speed and size he's going to create matchup nightmares
Agreed
But a lot of similarities. He gets his body control mastered, then we can have this conversation
Not what I'm talking about at all, but great catch and awareness
Looks like he figured the body control thing out.
Interesting that MC was listed first. So let's hope on the fieldhe is the king of rap there is no higher and sucker MCs they call him sire.MATCHUP NIGHTMARE
After a relatively quiet week at the All-American Bowl earlier in the month, Coleman shifted into another gear during the week in Hawaii. He made an incredible sideline catch early in the game and then scoring two touchdowns, including a 35-yard pass where he easily outran the defenders and was wide open. For me, the comparison for Coleman is DK Metcalf, a big physical receiver with straight line speed that is tough to stop.

InsideNebraska - The Wommack Awards: Polynesian Bowl
Nebraska signee Malachi Nelson impressed at the Polynesian Bowl.nebraska.rivals.com
Now thats what I'm talking aboutFreak of the Week
Staying with the two-sport theme, we loved watching Nebraska signee Malachi Coleman in action. He’s another player who told us he plans to run track in college and it will be fascinating to see what kind of numbers he can put up.
At 6-4, he’s long for a sprinter in the mold of the GOAT Usain Bolt (no we’re not comparing Coleman to Bolt, just talking about frame) but he can really run. He raced Branch in a fastest man competition (Pleasant didn’t participate) and lost by a hair and might have won if the race was a few yards longer.
He’s a grinder who worked his tail off every practice and shined in the game as well with five catches for 85 yards and two touchdowns. He’s not as natural catching the ball as some of the other receivers but with his work ethic, there’s no doubt he’ll make big strides in that area.
I saw a lot of JuJu Smith and Michael Pittman in high school and both struggled catching the ball more than Coleman and both ended up All-Americans at USC and 2nd round Draft picks.
