"A physical specimen, Coates has the size (6-feet-2, 201 pounds) and
speed (expected to run in the 4.3 range) to be a mismatch nightmare
downfield. He has room to improve the details of the position, including
his route running and how to use his body to leverage defenders. But
above all, Coates needs to improve his concentration through the process
of the catch to be more reliable securing grabs and eliminating the
drops. There is no question he is unpolished, but the athletic traits,
measureables and potential will be very attractive for NFL teams." - Dane Brugler, CBSSports.com
"While Coates certainly has his limitations and his concerns, at the end
of the day his size/speed/strength factors are simply too great to
ignore. Coates has an NFL-ready frame with great straight-line speed and
the athleticism to come down with contested catches. His hands are a
definite concern, but if Coates can improve at high-pointing the
football and gain separation more consistently as a route runner, some
team is going to have themselves one heck of a receiver come draft
weekend."
