Antonio Coleman (born September 1, 1986) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Auburn Tigers, was named to the Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference football first-team in 2008[1] and was considered one of the top outside linebacker prospects for the 2010 NFL draft.[2]
He was a member of the Buffalo Bills, New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL), the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League (UFL), and the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Coleman led Auburn with six sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss in 2008. He finished the season with 46 tackles (29 solo, 17 assists) and had a team-high 13 quarterback hurries, as well as a forced fumble and a pass break-up. He was named the SEC's Defensive Lineman of the Week following Auburn's 14–12 victory over Tennessee September 27 after completing four tackles including a sack and 1.6 tackles for loss.
Coleman was named to the ESPN.com 2009 preseason All-SEC first-team.[3] Despite having a cast on his right hand the first 7 weeks of the season, Coleman still finished as the best pass rusher in the SEC,[4] finishing the 2009 season ranked first in sacks[5] and second in tackles for loss.[6]
