Broncos Draft Coleman for Power Running Game

0:00On April 26, the Denver Broncos snag running back Jonah Coleman from Washington on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, beefing up there, backfield after showing heavy interest with a top 30 visit. Coleman thrives pounding it between the tackles, where over half his 191 carries went last season at Washington thanks to his, North South style over flashy speed on the edges. Meanwhile, the Broncos dial back inside runs to just 36.5% of their 490 rushes in 2025, down. Nearly 10% from 2024, leaning too much on outside stuff were tight and blocking struggled. Shifting back to around 45%, between the tackles plays right into Coleman's strengths, boost their efficient inside game, and meshes, with the zone and gap schemes up front. That tweak sets Coleman up to shine and pass pro and catches two, unlocking a stronger ground attack that limits risks and maximizes the online's power for 2026.
