Former NFL executive Michael Lombardi didn't mince words while discussing new Buffalo Bills wide receiver Corey Coleman on his podcast "GM Street" on the Ringer network on Wednesday.

"You're talking about a clueless guy. The guy has no perception of who he is at all," Lombardi said when discussing Coleman's appearance on HBO's "Hard Knocks" this past week.

"He actually thinks that he's doing good. He looks slow as hell on the field and I mean ... if Buffalo watched 'Hard Knocks' ... he looks slow as crap, he's not in any kind of condition at all."

Episode two of "Hard Knocks" was released a week after the Bills made a trade for Coleman with the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick in 2020. The Browns essentially gave away Coleman, a former first-round pick in the 2016 draft, in the deal after the frustrated pass catcher stormed into Browns coach Hue Jackson's office on the show and asked for a trade.

Coleman was playing with the second-team offense during practice and seemed upset and emotional when he spoke with Jackson during the episode.

Lombardi spent quite a bit of time on his podcast talking about Coleman and how it was a joke how badly out of shape the receiver seems to be on the show. He said players like Coleman are what's wrong with the NFL.

"Corey Coleman's symbolic of a lot of problems in a lot of organizations and not just in Cleveland," Lombardi said. "The kids have no idea what's going on >> they're so oblivious. They've been stars at Baylor, they've been stars here, they're first round picks, they got a billion shoes.

"Like, yo a--hole, you gotta play. This is about playing, this is about being a pro. You're not even in any kind of shape. And you look fat, you can't run a route, you can't catch a ball. ... I'm sure Buffalo is sitting there saying, well, wait a minute."

Bills general manager Brandon Beane made it a point to say that Coleman will have to earn anything he's given in Buffalo. The Bills liked Coleman's speed and upside and felt the risk was worth the reward.

"He's not going to automatically get anything; he's going to come in here and compete and that's what we told him on the phone (the night of the trade)," Beane said.

Lombardi was a scout for the San Francisco 49ers when Jerry Rice first came into the NFL and said to be a good receiver, you have to be in the best condition of anybody on the team.

"If you run a nine route and you run down the field, you can't then go off the field. You gotta come back to the huddle and run as hard as you can the next route," Lombardi said. "Jerry Rice used to run as hard as he could down the field, maybe catch a nine route, and never missed the next route. Like, he never waived anybody off. He came right back to the huddle. Great receivers never miss reps."

Coleman is set to make his debut for the Bills tonight against his former team the Browns. The third-year receiver is moving on from his time in Cleveland and hoping for a fresh start in Buffalo.

"Every day I wake up I feel like I have something to prove," he said. "This is a huge opportunity for me. I'm blessed to be here. I'm ready to rock with the Buffalo Bills."
