From the moment running back Jonah Coleman met with the Denver Broncos head coaches, he felt like he would be a perfect fit in the team’s plans.
“It was amazing,” said Coleman to the Broncos media after he was drafted by the Broncos with the 108th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft last month. “We just hit it off right off the bat. As soon as I walked in the meeting, I felt the energy and really the love from the start. I went in there, and we just talked some ball and just crushed it. When I went up there on a [Top 30] visit, all I kept hearing was they were really impressed with my interview at the Combine. Who would have ever known that I would be in this position now. I’m just so grateful to be part of the team.”
Coleman spent two years at Arizona before transferring to Washington ahead of the 2024 season. He received honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition after each of his two seasons with the Huskies. Coleman rushed 349 times for 1,811 yards and 25 touchdowns in 25 games at Washington while also proving to be a capable receiver out of the backfield, totaling 54 receptions for 531 yards and two scores.
The Broncos are lucky to have someone like Coleman, who is likely to become the third running back behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey in 2026. Fans and pundits believe that Denver got a steal in Coleman. He believes the same.
