Broncos rookie Jonah Coleman shines at OTAs as key offensive piece
Summary

Jonah Coleman, a fourth-round pick by the Denver Broncos, has demonstrated impressive skills at OTAs, positioning himself as a viable candidate for a key role in the team's offense next season. Known for his versatility as a three-down back and pass-catcher, Coleman rushed for 758 yards and 15 touchdowns in the previous season at Washington. Despite the presence of incumbents J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, Broncos head coach Sean Payton acknowledged Coleman's strong performance, suggesting he could quickly earn playing time. The Broncos, who added wide receiver Jaylen Waddle during the offseason, are looking for increased offensive firepower after falling short of the Super Bowl in 2025.
