Wide receiver Keon Coleman has yet to play an NFL game, but he is already capturing hearts of Buffalo Bills fans by making a young fan’s day.

“Okay. Logan is absolutely going to lose his mind when he gets home from school,” she wrote. “I do not think he could have ever dreamed both Keon would see it/wear the bracelets AND for this to be shared all over. This is wild!…
