Broncos Draft Jonah Coleman: North-South Runner

0:00It's April 25th. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. The Denver Broncos kicked off their fourth round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft by grabbing Washington running back, Jonah Coleman. This move pledged a huge hole in their backfield after last season's run game fell apart without a true workhorse. Their ground attack tanked when JK Dovins went down with a foot injury in week 10, playing a big part in them missing the Super Bowl. The agency didn't pan out guys. Like Breeze Hall got tagged, others signed elsewhere, so they stuck with re-signing Dovins, Tyler Beatty, and Joliel. McLaughlin. Fans and analysts see this as smart, since Dovins stays banged up in second year back, RJ Harvey lacks that grinding style. Coleman steps in as the north-south runner they crave, potentially earning snaps right away as a rookie. At just five foot eight, he's compact with a low center of gravity, a team captain who rarely fumbles, just one in college.

1:00He racked up 3,054 rushing yards and 34 touchdowns over 50 games at Arizona and Washington. Plus, he's solid in pass, protection. That skill set gives him an edge for the RB-3 role under Sean Payton, and with a B-grade on the pick, Coleman could shake up the Broncos' offense before training camp even hits.
