Jonah Coleman - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

'I'm still chopping wood': How RB Jonah Coleman's internal 'want to' and guidance from a Broncos veteran are helping him make plays at the NFL level “I’ve still got a long way to go," Coleman said. "I’m still in my first year, so just still being a sponge and still being able to grow and...

Four touches in preseason loss Coleman turned three carries into nine yards and added a catch for minus-2 yards during the Broncos' 33-13 preseason loss to the Packers on Friday.

Impact Coleman was the second Broncos running back in the game after RJ Harvey, with J.K. Dobbins observing Friday's exhibition contest from the sidelines. Coleman, a fourth-round selection of the Broncos in the 2026 NFL Draft, is pushing for a rotational role in the backfield with Dobbins and Harvey, though Coleman may see most of his playing time as a contributor on special teams. The Broncos will wrap up their preseason slate this Friday against the Vikings.

Pushing for role in Denver backfield Coleman is trending toward being a real part of a Denver running back rotation that also includes J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) and RJ Harvey, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denv...

Impact Coleman, who logged 14 snaps en route to carrying four times for 24 yards in Saturday's preseason opener the Falcons, has drawn very positive reviews from coach Sean Payton, per Gabriel. On that topic, Payton noted that the 2026 fourth-rounder -- who is listed at 5-foot-8, 220 pounds -- has good balance and short-area quickness and is a"real good elusive runner for his size." As long as Dobbins and Harvey are healthy and available, steady volume may be hard to come by for Coleman, but the rookie back still has a chance to carve out a change-of-pace role early on, and perhaps more down the road if injuries hit Denver's backfield.

Four carries in first taste of NFL Coleman rushed four times for 24 yards in Friday's 27-7 preseason win over the Falcons.

Impact Coleman was the second running back into the game for Denver after RJ Harvey while veteran J.K. Dobbins (undisclosed) sat out Friday's preseason opener. Denver's rookie fourth-round pick is likely to begin his career third on the team's running back depth chart behind Dobbins and Harvey, though Tyler Badie, Jaleel McLaughlin and Cody Schrader will try to work their way into the conversation during the preseason, which will continue for the Broncos on Aug. 21 against the Packers.

Praised by Payton for standout camp Broncos coach Sean Payton named Coleman as one of the team's pleasant surprises at training camp so far, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Impact When asked Wednesday about pleasant surprises at camp, Payton began his answer with Coleman's name. The coach even said that Coleman "doesn't feel like a rookie," per Troy Renck of Denver 7 News. Then again, Payton has also made glowing comments about RB J.K. Dobbins and half of the wide receivers on the camp roster. A rookie fourth-round pick, Coleman is perhaps making his case to force a three-way backfield split with Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

Impact Coleman impressed at OTAs and mandatory minicamp in spring, and Evans speculates that the rookie fourth-round pick could immediately absorb the 17 percent offensive snaps share handled by Tyler Badie last season. At 5-foot-8, 220 pounds, Coleman offers more upside than Badie thanks to his compact frame and pass-game utility, giving him a chance to push Harvey for third-down work and contribute in short-yardage situations. While Coleman looks on track to beat out Jaleel McLaughlin and Badie for the No. 3 backfield role, his early fantasy appeal will be limited if the Broncos deploy a full backfield committee.
