Coleman Jr. is a rookie receiver who is part of Miami's young receiving corps expected to develop throughout the 2026 season. The source notes that as Coleman Jr., Caleb Douglas, and Chris Bell become more comfortable with the speed of the NFL, the Dolphins will feature deeper throws in their play-action-based passing game. Early in the season, the offense will be run-first with short passing, but deeper throws will increase as the rookie receivers gain experience.
