Jonah Coleman: Seahawks' Local Draft Target

0:00On April 1st, Seahawks fans, keep your eyes on Jonah Coleman, the former Washington Huskies running back who's already visited the team locally. That means it doesn't eat into their top 30 visits limit. He sat down with General Manager John Schneider and the new running backs coach, Thomas Hammock, sparking real draft buzz as Seattle eyes backfield. Help? Coleman balled out in 2024, rushing for over 1,000 yards on just 193 carries. Even with a knee injury cutting his senior year to 8 games, he averaged 5.1 yards per carry and scored 13 touchdowns. At 5 feet 8 inches and 220 pounds, he's a compact guy with sharp vision who's tough to tackle. Scouts love his smarts and blocking schemes of protection. Plus, he's a team captain who could back up on all three downs. His ball security stands out too, only one fumble in college, matching the elite grip from guys like Zach Sharbanay and Kenneth Walker III, but speed ain't his superpower.

1:01He's more slipper than breaker. He skipped the 40 yard dash at pro day, and he's no first or second round speedster. Expect him available in rounds three or four as a day three pick. Meanwhile, he's lining up visits with the Broncos and Viking soon, plus a workout for the Saints. Seahawks don't draft many Huskies, only a handful in 50 years under Schneider, but Coleman's local ties and rebuild fit make him worth watching as trap day nears.
