Seahawks' Mid-Round Gem: Jonah Coleman

0:00On April 9th, Seattle Seahawks got a hole at running back with Kenneth Walker heading to the Kansas City Chiefs in Zach Sharbanay, nursing a knee, injury. They need fresh legs and the 2026 NFL draft ain't loaded with top starters, but Washington's Jonah Coleman stands out as a mid-round gym. Who could plug right in? Coleman's a compact 5 feet 8 inches and 220 pounds with college stats that pop 552 carries for three. 154 yards and 34 touchdowns. He's got that low center of gravity for grinding out tough yards. Fans and scouts see him thriving in Seattle's scheme thanks to his patience behind the line, sharp vision to spot holes and power to shrug off. Tackles. His reliable hands make him versatile too, fitting the Seahawks need for a steady early down guy. On the flip side, he lacks top in speed for big breakaways and needs work and pass protection and receiving routes. Still, his consistency shines, drawing comps to Atlanta's Tyler Algear, a reliable workhorse between the tackles.

1:04Coleman projects as a late second-round pick, the kind of no flash, all grind back, who could handle 15 carries a game and keep Seattle's run game, humming strong.
