Brandon Coleman ready to compete wherever needed

His playing history at TCU would certainly back that up. He played 2,120 snaps in college, more than half of them at left tackle. The 2022 season, the only season he played the position exclusively, was also his best, as he recorded an 80.6 grade on Pro Football Focus and allowed just two sacks.

“We definitely think he has what it takes to be a tackle in this league,” Peters said. “And he’s got the feet, he’s got the speed, he’s got the strength, he’s got the smarts and he’s got the right mindset.”

Coleman has some traits that make it easy to see why some analysts have rated him as a guard in the NFL. He’s not as tall as some of the other tackles that came before him, and his broad frame helps him take on bigger defensive tackles. He also has strong hands that allow him to stay in contact with defenders and take them out of running lanes in the middle.

But Coleman also has similar arm length to the tackles drafted before him and has impressive footwork that shows he can play tackle. While the skill players ran seven-on-seven drills during the second week of OTAs, Coleman and the rest of the offensive linemen practiced their passing sets with a drill in which the linemen had to slide one player to another to deliver a punch while kicking backwards.

Coleman was one of the most refined players in the exercise, handling his responsibilities with ease.

“I just want to show that I am the player that I said I was,” Coleman said. “I’m competitive, I love playing ball and I love competing wherever I am.”
