Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman recently made headlines when a video surfaced on social media of him working at a local restaurant in his hometown of Opelousas, Louisiana. Even though he's busy with his football duties, Coleman took some time to serve up some delicious food at Mama's Fried Chicken, a popular spot in the area.
According to reports, Coleman, who was drafted by the New York team in April, spent the afternoon of May 8 working at the fast food joint, taking orders and interacting with the customers. The video shows him behind the register, surrounded by Mama's Fried Chicken employees, wearing a baseball cap with the restaurant's logo. He can be heard asking a customer, "What do you want?" as the patron laughs and places his order for a two-piece dark chicken with mashed potatoes and a lemonade. Coleman even throws in an extra side for his "dog."
When the customer asks if the order is free, Coleman quickly responds, "No, it's not free, it's not on the house!" He then checks the register and informs the customer that the total comes out to $11.88. The video was shared on Twitter by Jamarcus Fitzpatrick, with Coleman's agent, Paul DeRousselle, also in attendance.
It was later revealed that the "customer" was actually former NFL player and current podcaster Robert Griffin III. The encounter came about because Coleman had previously stated that Mama's Fried Chicken was one of the best places to eat in Louisiana. During their conversation, Coleman even shared his opinion that Opelousas and Cajun country have better dining options than New Orleans.
Coleman, who played college football at Florida State, was drafted by the Bills in the second round with the 33rd selection. It's great to see him taking a break from his busy schedule to give back to his community and have some fun at the same time. In fact, this isn't the first time the Buffalo Bills players have come together to support local causes, as they recently organized a school supply drive for kids in need. It's heartwarming to see these athletes using their platform to make a positive impact in the world.
