Instead, Michigan State&#8217;s receiving corps was led by Keon Coleman.<\/p>\n<p>The sophomore wideout finished the season with 58 catches for 798 yards and seven touchdowns. He had some breakout performances along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Coleman, who was expected to be a star in the green and white, lived up to his potential but it feels like he&#8217;s just scratching the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this offseason, there was a way-too-early preseason All-American team posted on Twitter and Coleman wasn&#8217;t listed. He quote tweeted it as if to say &#8220;OK, just watch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Confidence is brimming in Coleman and his teammates apparently have that same confidence in the star receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Pro Football Focus posted its list of the top 10 returning receivers for the 2023 season and there was no Coleman in sight. Reed took offense to that.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Where <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/keoncoleman6?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@keoncoleman6<\/a> ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P1MT4xurjz\">https:\/\/t.co\/P1MT4xurjz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; j.reed1??

He was already underrated heading into his sophomore year because he didn&#8217;t do a ton as a freshman, but he proved why that was a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>And now, he&#8217;s going to have to prove himself again just like his teammate <a href=\"http:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/jayden-reed-nfl-draft-stock-skyrocketing-reeses-senior-bowl\/\">(Reed) has had to do<\/a> multiple times throughout his career.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s just a Michigan State thing.<\/p>\n<p>Do I think Coleman should be considered a top 10 receiver in college football after finishing with 800 yards and seven scores? Probably not. But do I think he&#8217;s capable of being a top 10 receiver in the nation? Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>Heck, if Jayden Reed thinks Coleman is a top 10 receiver in college football, so do I.
