NFL Mock Draft: Florida State Star Goes to Colts in First Round

The Florida State Seminoles are getting closer and closer to making the College Football Playoff. They've got three regular season games to take care of business in, then an eventual ACC Championship game to win as well.

This is made possible with a plethora of talent that the Seminoles have accumulated over the past couple of years. With this level of success, there are multiple NFL hopefuls across the roster after the program only had two players drafted over the past two seasons.

One of those NFL hopefuls is Keon Coleman, the standout transfer from Michigan State. He's been electric all season and has looked like one of the top receivers across the entire nation.

In a recent 2024 NFL mock draft, CBS Sports has Coleman going pick No. 13 to the Indianapolis Colts.

"The Colts have to infuse the receiver group with more young talent, and Coleman is a no-nonsense rebounder on the perimeter," CBS Sports writes.

In all honesty, this would be an incredible fit. Coleman is explosive, fun, and a reliable receiver to pair up with Michael Pittman Jr., who has been in nothing but unfortunate situations since being drafted.

With a young quarterback in Anthony Richardson set to play a full NFL season next year after dealing with an injury this season, the Colts' offense would get much younger and plenty more fun if this is how the dominos fell.

Through the college football season, Coleman has accumulated 538 receiving yards on 38 receptions through nine games. He's found the end zone on nine occasions. Coleman's been nothing short of incredible and he and Jordan Travis have a consistent connection that has helped the Seminoles out of plenty of unfavorable situations.

It took Coleman no time to hit the national media, too. He was making eye-popping plays and stacking incredible statistical games together early in the year, and he's done as much to solidify his spot as a future first-round NFL pick during his lone season in Tallahassee.
