Drew A. Coleman (born April 22, 1982 in Henderson, Texas) is an American football cornerback who currently plays for the New York Jets of the National Football League.

A graduate of Henderson High School, Coleman attended Trinity Valley Junior College in Athens, Texas, playing wide receiver for two years for the Cardinals before attending Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. At TCU, he was switched to cornerback by coach Gary Patterson. He was injured for most of the 2004 season, but as a senior in 2005 started all 12 games for the Horned Frogs' 10-2 Mountain West Conference Championship team. He was second on the team with 4 interceptions and tied for first with 8 passes broken up. After the season, he was named Second-team All-MWC [1].

As a rookie with the Jets in 2006, Coleman played in all 17 games as the Jets advanced to the playoffs for the first time in three years. He often played nickelback and developed into a solid special teams tackler.
