Film Room
Impressive throwing arm – Straight out of his first couple of clips on his film this kid can throw the ball probably the best part about his game honestly Coleman shows off the arm by throwing to all three levels of the field and can fit footballs into tight windows.
Good touch passer – he showed his ability on his clips to be a effective touch passer that can put the ball wherever and whenever he wants to.
Dual threat quarterback – On his film he showed that he can run the ball, Miami has not had a dual threat quarterback since Deriq King so adding him adds a dual threat QB.
He is more of a touch passer.
He is an athletic quarterback that is twitchy.
He also showed the ability to buy time with his athleticism while simultaneously looking down the field to make plays with his arm.
He likes to pick defences apart from the pocket and can flick the ball into the deeper third with ease.
