Miami Dolphins Take Their Third Rookie WR in Kevin Coleman
The Miami Dolphins selected Missouri WR Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Coleman’s college career was a tour. He opened at Jackson State under Deion Sanders, transferred to Louisville for 2023, and then broke out at Mississippi State in 2024. Coleman caught 74 balls for 932 yards and 6 TDs that year – all team highs. His 2.32 yards per route ranked 57th among 260 FBS WRs with 50+ targets. Coleman transferred to Missouri this past year and again led his team in receptions (66) and receiving yards (732). He ranked 18th in targets per route (0.26) and 26th in yards per route (2.23) among the 49 WRs invited to this year’s Combine. Coleman goes just 5’10, 179 pounds and looks like a slot-only player in the NFL. He logged 92% of his snaps inside in college and registered a career 9.5-yard average target depth. That leaves him with a relatively unexciting fantasy ceiling.
