Coffman is a third year pro out of Missouri. He was originally drafted by the Bengals in the third round, but he never lived up to expectations. The Falcons had him on their practice squad most of this season, but he did appear in five games, mainly with special teams. He did catch one pass for eleven yards during the regular season. He also had a reception in the playoffs against Seattle for a crucial first down.
Coffman could get a second chance with his career next season. If future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez does end up retiring, Coffman could move up in the Falcons' depth chart and really have a chance to play regularly. He will most likely return in the off season, unless the Falcons go out and get a good tight end, then he could be looking for a new home.
