After being drafted in the seventh round of the 2010 draft out of Ohio State University, Safety Kurt Coleman has been nothing but stellar. Early in his career, he filled in for spot duty and showed flashes of things to come.
Some pundits think that he was a liability in pass coverage and in his ability to shed blocks (of which he has improved). Every season, he’s improved and last year, he became a full time starter, even with the 2nd round selection of Temple Safety Jaiquan Jarrett. Jarrett was donned with becoming the successor to All-time great Brian Dawkins but there’s a few things in his way; one of them being the good play of Coleman.
Coleman is neither the biggest nor the fastest but he is wise and plays with heart. Those two ingredients make up for size and strength.
Going into his third year, he should thrive and not look back. In 2011, Coleman was second on the team with 88 tackles and 4 interceptions (3 coming in one game against Redskins QB Rex Grossman).
I expected teams to go after him early and often due to his size but he will shine like the Phoenix
