Broncos select running back in fourth round of 2026 NFL draft
The Denver Broncos selected Washington running back Jonah Coleman with the 108th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft on Saturday afternoon.
Coleman (5-8, 220 pounds) spent two years at Arizona before transferring to Washington ahead of the 2024 season. He received honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition after each of his two seasons with the Huskies . Coleman rushed 349 times for 1,811 yards and 25 touchdowns in 25 games at Washington while also proving to be a capable receiver out of the backfield, totaling 54 receptions for 531 yards and two scores.
Coleman is not among the fastest running backs in this year's class, but pundits praised his pass blocking leading up to the draft. The Athletic's Dane Brugler ranked Coleman 147th overall on his big board , which placed Coleman sixth among running backs in the 2026 class.
Coleman will now join a Denver backfield that already features J.K. Dobbins and 2025 second-round draft pick RJ Harvey . Coleman instantly improves the team's backfield depth chart, and he'll be a candidate to handle third-down duties thanks to his receiving ability and blocking skills.
