Broncos Draft Steal: Coleman Could Lead Backfield
16 Jul
Summary
- Jonah Coleman was drafted by the Broncos in the fourth round, pick 108.
- He is seen as a potential three-down back with strong vision and balance.
- Coleman could become the lead back if Dobbins or Harvey are injured.
The Denver Broncos selected running back Jonah Coleman in the fourth round of the recent draft, at pick 108 overall. Despite possessing other backs like J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, the Broncos sought to improve their running back situation. Coleman is viewed as a promising three-down back, noted for his vision, balance, and patience.
Coleman's potential impact is significant, especially given J.K. Dobbins' injury history. Dobbins, despite his talent, has missed substantial time in previous seasons. Rookie RJ Harvey showed flashes but averaged a modest 3.7 yards per carry. Coleman is expected to share the load initially, potentially reducing Harvey's workload.
Should Dobbins, or any other running back, suffer an injury, Coleman could be elevated from a Day 3 pick to the primary ball carrier for the Broncos. This scenario presents him with an opportunity to make a substantial impact as a rookie.
