Broncos Snag Talented RB Coleman in 4th Round

0:00On April 26, Denver Broncos' head coach Sean Payton nailed his target in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft, grabbing running back. Jonah Coleman, at Pick 108, paid in one of the best pure runner who fits their scheme. And he says Coleman checks every box as a tough, physical back. They brought Coleman in for a visit, broke down the film, and loved what they saw. He's got that frame for third-down duties, handles past protection like a pro, and stays smart under pressure. Payton compares his style to JK Dovins already on the roster. Coleman is hyped to join Dovins in second-year back RJ Harvey, calling it a three-headed monster up front in the trenches. The two-time all-big-ten honorable mention always spelt Destin for Denver, and now he's living it. From Arizona to Washington, Coleman averaged 5.5 yards per carry over four college seasons. He rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2024, scored 25 touchdowns with the Huskies, and fumbled just once his whole career.

1:02Payton stresses it's all about talent plus solid coaching, making this pick a no-brainer. With that backfield depth, the Broncos' run game looks primed to dominate right out the gate.
