Broncos Draft Washington RB Jonah Coleman at No. 108

Denver sought a trusted third-down option to bolster a backfield vulnerable to injuries.

Overview

  • Denver, which drafted Washington running back Jonah Coleman at No. 108 on Saturday, added a 5-foot-8, 220-pound inside runner viewed as a three-down fit.
  • Head coach Sean Payton said Coleman can play on third down and praised his pass protection, toughness, and football IQ.
  • General manager George Paton said the team considered moving up for Coleman because they graded him highly and feared he would not reach their pick.
  • The move deepens a room led by J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey after the Broncos’ run game sagged following Dobbins’ 2025 foot injury.
  • Coleman logged 1,811 rushing yards in two seasons at Washington, lost only one fumble in college, and was the fourth running back selected, signaling a profile that could earn early snaps.
