Linebacker
No. 57
Michigan
"Coleman signed as a free agent with the Jets last season after two years with the Saints, who drafted him in the 16th round in 1974. He missed the entire 1976 campaign after suffering a knee injury in the Houston preseason game that required surgery.
He played 13 games at outside linebacker for the Saints in 1975 and made 33 tackles. He appeared mostly on special teams as a rookie. Coleman played for the Saints at the same time that new Jet offensive backfield coach Bob Ledbetter was an assistant there.
Coleman was second team All-Big 10 as a senior. He was a three-year starter after switching from running back.
He has a B.A. in communications and would like to operate his own ad-production company someday. He's studying for a Master's degree in business administration at Hofstra.
Don was a four-sport star at St. John's High Toledo, his birthplace and hometown, where he was an all-state running back."
