White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. – Pump the brakes on the full-blown comparisons, Brandon Coleman says.
Yes, the continual mentioning of him in the same sentences as Marques Colston is flattering and, absolutely, there are far worse links that can be made than to the best receiver in New Orleans Saints history.
But one Saints receiver is entering his 10th season and is an established big-game hunter – 666 receptions for 9,239 yards and 68 touchdowns, all franchise records. The other hasn’t yet played in a regular-season game and in his first year, 2014, was waived at the end of training camp, signed to the practice squad, released from the practice squad, re-signed to the practice squad and, finally, signed to the active roster near the end of the season.
