Second-year receiver Brandon Coleman has drawn constant comparisons to fellow big man Marques Colston since he joined the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted rookie last year.
But Coleman apparently felt like he took that comparison too far when he dressed up in Colston’s jersey and helmet while signing autographs for fans after Sunday’s practice at The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia.
Coleman took to Twitter to apologize for the prank on Tuesday:
I want to apologize to the fans that were at Sunday's practice for the prank I pulled after practice pretending to b Colston signing my name
— Brandon Coleman (@B_Cole16) August 11, 2015It was just a joke and I meant no harm
To the fans that got upset I'm sorry lol

The comparisons between the two have only continued to increase as the 6-foot-6, 225-pounder has gotten off to a great start this summer. After spending most of last season on the practice squad, Coleman is making a realistic run at New Orleans' No. 3 receiver job.
