The Denver Broncos have drafted running back Jonah Coleman from Washington in the 4th round, 108th overall, of the 2026 NFL Draft. This selection adds another dynamic player to an already competitive Broncos running back group.

His playing style has drawn comparisons to former NFL star Maurice Jones-Drew, with analysts noting his toughness and ability to break tackles.
Coleman expressed his eagerness to contribute to the team's culture and the run game, envisioning a "three-headed monster" alongside fellow backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey.
