Defensive end Coleman signs free agent contract with Jaguars

Coleman was an impact player for Missouri in his lone year in Columbia. The Atlanta product registered 37 tackles for the Tigers, including 8½ tackles for loss, 4½ sacks and one forced fumble in 12 games.

Prior to his graduate season at MU, Coleman spent four years at Jacksonville State, where he was a first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference selection as a junior.

While still a raw prospect athletically, Coleman has the physical build and tools to develop in the pros. Standing at 6-foot-5, 263 pounds, Coleman posted a 4.78-second 40-yard dash time at Missouri’s pro day in March. That time ranks in the 59th percentile among edge rushers in his class. He also recorded an impressive 27 reps on the bench press.

Coleman will look to translate his physical tools into results as he heads to Jacksonville to join the Jaguars’ offseason program. The team has added just one other edge rusher, Oklahoma State’s Tyler Lacy, who was selected in the fourth round of the draft.
