Inside the Film Room: Why Cam Coleman will become Arch Manning's best friend in 2026

Transferring from Auburn to Texas, wide receiver Cam Coleman is looking to put a stamp on his 2027 NFL Draft profile. So, what does he bring to the field?

Another week down, another Inside the Film Room out into the universe.

This week, we focus on Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman, who joins forces with Arch Manning in Austin after two seasons at Auburn. He was perhaps the biggest name to enter the transfer portal this past Spring and landed with Texas despite interest from Texas A&M, Florida, and others.

However, where does he stand in what looks to be a strong wide receiver class on paper? Per the consensus board on my podcast co-host James Foster’s site, Coleman is seen as the second-best receiver behind just Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State, and the sixth-best player in the entire draft class.

So, you know what that means. We need to get to the tape and see if that strong standing in a deep draft class stands true. And that’s just what we do here.
