The Buffalo Bills benched second-year wideout Keon Coleman for Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he was late to a team meeting on Friday morning.
Veteran offensive lineman Dion Dawkins addressed the situation after the victory.
“I’ve already spoken to him. When I spoke to Keon before, I said, ‘Bro, look, don’t even worry about it. Everybody goes through a different journey. Let’s just say that this is the last time, and let’s just move forward.’ And he said, ‘I’m with you.’ That’s all we need. Nobody’s perfect, but in this league we need guys to come on. And Keon knows now he’s in the hot seat, and he needs to come on and show up for us. Pats on the back are over with and it’s time for him to grow up and he knows it. As an older player on the team, we’ve got to hold everybody accountable. And we shoot straight. We don’t sugarcoat it.”
