Broncos Add Power Back Jonah Coleman

0:00On April to 8th, the Denver Broncos grab running back Jonah Coleman from Washington with the 108th overall pick in the 4th round, adding some grit to their backfield on day 3 of the draft. This 23-year-old transfer followed his coach from Arizona and brings a compact, powerful build that's tough to tackle. Coleman shines in the passing game with at least 20 catches over the last three seasons and just two career fumbles. He averaged over four yards after contact per carry the past four years, hitting a peak of 5 in 2023 and nearly one-fifth of his, runs went for 10 or more yards. Fans are buzzing because he fits Sean Payton's scheme perfectly elite vision, quick cuts in tight spaces, natural hands as a receiver and top tier. Past protection. His leadership and ball security make him a locker room asset, rounding out a Broncos group needing that power punch. That said, Coleman lacks top-end speed and explosive bursts, playing more like a grinder than a home run threat.

1:00His tight style limits outside runs, and while durable so far, the NFL grind could wear on him without that extra gear. Overall, he's the powerback Denver targeted, checking key boxes for a seamless role next to their speedier options, setting up a balanced attack as training camp heats up.
