Keon Coleman: Bills Mafia’s Hearts Stolen By Endearing Gesture
Coleman was embraced by ardent Bills supporters from the beginning.
Thanks to a heartfelt act that embodies the expression “You’ve got a friend in me,” rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman of the Buffalo Bills has swiftly gained the affection of the Bills Mafia.
In a touching moment, Leslie Willie’s friend’s son wrote Coleman a letter at the beginning of May, encouraging Coleman to join the Bills Mafia. The letter gave Coleman a warm welcome to Buffalo and offered advice on where to get the greatest pizza in the area.
Within were a pair of friendship bracelets designed to “spread love.” Keon Coleman received the letter, read it, and proudly wore the friendship bracelets—a gesture that has only served to win him more supporters.
During a recent NFLPA Rookie Premiere event in Los Angeles, Coleman participated in a photo session and displayed the wristbands in every picture. His friendship with the Buffalo community was further strengthened by this small but meaningful act that demonstrated his true connection to the fans.
