ORLANDO — Keon Coleman plays with a boulder on his shoulders, a weight resting on his back.

You can’t tell much. After all, he seems to bring down virtually every pass thrown his way.

Didn’t you watch Sunday night, when he hauled in nine passes — many of them contested — and three touchdowns? Didn’t you see him when he leaped over the heads of LSU players? When he corralled throws few could have? When he helped lead the No. 8 Florida State Seminoles to a romping 45-24 win over No. 5 LSU?

You can’t see that boulder, but it’s there, says Randy Livingston, Keon’s AAU basketball coach and longtime family friend.
