Seahawks Target Seattle Native RB Coleman

0:00On March 31st, with less than a month until the 2026 NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks are locking in on running back prospects for the butters all fine, first, two or three rounds. They need a solid starter, and Washington's Jonah Coleman stands out as a top target who's already shown strong interest in playing for them. Coleman, a Seattle native from the Huskies, has met with the Seahawks during pre-draft visits and workouts. He's drawing buzz from multiple teams, but seems extra comfortable with Seattle, given his local roots in college success right in their backyard. Fans and analysts see Coleman as a perfect match, with the talent to claim the starting role day one. His explosive style fits the Seahawks' offensive scheme, mirroring what he ran at Washington over his final two college years. Adding to the appeal, Seattle just hired Jimmy Dowerty, who coached Coleman for all four of his college seasons as an offensive coordinator and quarterback's coach. That continuity can make his transition seamless.

1:00As draft boards finalize, the Seahawks faced tough choices among solid backs, but Coleman looks prime to slide right into their backfield and boost. The run game heading into next season. That's your NFL News Today update, AI-powered and always on.
