Philadelphia Eagles: 5 potential options at wide receiver following Mike Wallace injury
By Dan Parzych
2. Consider giving Corey Coleman a chance
What a crazy three years it’s been for Corey Coleman, as the former Baylor wideout entered the league in 2016 with a ton of potential, only to see himself recently released from the New England Patriots after the team decided to acquire Josh Gordon. Before joining the Patriots, Coleman was part of the Buffalo Bills, who he was traded to in the offseason by the Cleveland Browns.
So when gathering up all of the facts, this means Coleman has just seen a third team move on from him since the end of last season, which has to be frustrating for the wideout, but also shows how much he’s struggled to live up to the hype. On a positive note, the good news for Coleman is the young wideout still has plenty of time to turn things around since his best playing days have hopefully yet to come, and the Eagles would simply have nothing to lose if they were to give him a chance.
Cleveland never would have selected Coleman in the first round back in 2016 if they didn’t believe there was some sort of potential for him to shine at the NFL level. Sooner or later, Coleman is going to receive another chance by some NFL team, but only time will tell when it comes to whether that team could be Philadelphia.
