I always thought he was an average safety, while playing for OSU. I watched the Philadelphia Eagles play this year, and couldn't help but notice Coleman's play on defense, fast and aggressive. The Big 10 Network is replaying the 2010 Rose Bowl: OSU vs Oregon..... and man, in hindsight, Kurt Coleman was outstanding.







Man, when the eagles and seattle both took safeties early, I was appalled that Coleman lasted until the seventh. The guy had better game tape, the same speed and change of direction measurables, and great football intelligence and leadership. I am a raiders fan and I was praying that we would take him in the second.
