In this story:


The Las Vegas Raiders have two former Pro-Bowl wide receivers with Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow, but their long-term future with the club is up in the air.

With that in mind, the Raiders need to think about the long haul, and drafting a wide receiver early in this year's NFL Draft is one of the many options the team should consider.

Former Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman would be a great option and probably still will be on the board when the Raiders make their first pick of the draft at No. 13.

Coleman turned in 658 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns in his lone season with the Seminoles. He was named to the All-ACC First Team for three positions -- wide receiver, all-purpose and specialist. 

Coleman helped lead Florida State to its best season in school history. The Seminoles won the ACC title game and went 13-0, but to the dismay of many in the college football world, they did not make the College Football Playoff.

Whichever team lands Coleman in this year's draft will be adding one heck of an athlete. Prior to his final college season, Cole played both football and basketball at Michigan State. He played one season with the basketball team but was a part of the football program for two seasons.

In his sophomore season -- his last with MSU -- Coleman led the team with 58 receptions, 798 receiving yards and seven touchdown catches. He was named All-Big Ten Honorable Mention.

Coleman was part of an Michigan State team in 2021 that finished at 11-2 and won the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl against Pitt.

From February 27 to March 4, 2024, the NFL Scouting Combine will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the No. 13 overall pick.
