When you look at Brandon Coleman and Marques Colston and see the similarities in their builds, it’s hard not to begin making comparisons between the two players.
While Coleman is listed two inches taller at 6-foot-6, both men are roughly the same size and have similar body types. These measurements long led to the assumption that when Colston’s time came to an end in New Orleans, as it did this week, Coleman would be tapped to fill the void. General manager Mickey Loomis fanned the flames last month by referring to Coleman as Colston’s heir apparent, and in many ways, he likely is going to be asked to take on a bigger role in the offense next season. There is, however, nothing apparent about the situation. There are hopes. There are assumptions. There are even some likelihoods. But nothing is guaranteed about Coleman’s ability to step in and capably fill the void left behind by Colston. While similar, these two players are different in just as many ways. That much became clear after going back through the tape of the 2015 season and charting how each man was used in the offense. When Colston landed with the Saints in 2006, he was at the forefront of the movement that saw teams using bigger receivers in the slot. Not much has changed since then. read more |

Re: Can Brandon Coleman replace Marques Colston?
He's an adequate replacement for the no. 12 we saw in 2014 and 2015. To replace the no. 12 from 2006 to 2013; ain't no way

Re: Can Brandon Coleman replace Marques Colston?
BC needs to make the most of his opportunities starting in camp.
Outside of the size, I don't see many similarities to the great M Colston. |

Re: Can Brandon Coleman replace Marques Colston?
He has to get better. We only need about 60 catches, 750 yards and 8 TD's from him.
