Broncos Score Steal with Coleman

0:00On April 2-8, the Denver Broncos scored big by grabbing Washington running back Jonah Coleman at pick 108 in the fourth round. Draft experts pegged him as a late second or third round talent, so this felt like pure steel territory for a team needing backfield depth. Coleman slides right into Sean Payton's scheme as a powerrunner who compliments J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. He's got that third down juice too, solid as a pass protector and receiver out of the backfield, which should win over the coaches quick. Fans and analysts are buzzing, with NFL Draft on S.I.'s Justin Mello calling him one of the weekend's most underrated picks. His college tape backs it up, especially after transferring to Washington where he racked up 1,811 rushing yards, 25 touchdowns, plus 54 catches for 531 yards and two more scores. It seals the deal as his reliability, averaging 5.5 yards per carry career, wise, turning out consistent 4 plus yard gains without.
