Broncos' Coleman: Next Big Thing in Running Game

0:00On April 25th, the Denver Broncos just snagged running back Jonah Colman in the 4th round of the 2026 NFL draft, pick number 1. 108. Coach Sean Payton loves a deep backfield, and this compact dude brings that power runner vibe, drawing straight up comparisons to Maurice Jones. Drew. Colman shines as a receiver out of the backfield and holds his own in past protection, skills that could lock him into the lineup quick. He's got that low pad level and relentless energy that wears defenses down, making him a steal this late. Draft guru Todd McShay went all in on him earlier this month, calling Colman the sleeper, everyone overlooked, and a thinner running back class. Social media is buzzing too, with fans hyping him as the next big thing after the pick dropped. Last poll season, the Broncos' ground game tanked hard, barely scraping 41 yards against Buffalo and 55 versus New England in the AFC, title clash. That weakness kept them out of the Super Bowl.

1:01Now with Colman in the mix, Denver's tweaking the roster for that championship push, betting this kid turns their run attack into a weapon that gets them all the way. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
