Locked On Broncos - Daily Podcast On The Denver Broncos - BREAKOUT: Why Jonah Coleman Can Be a GAME CHANGER For Denver Broncos RB Room

Starting point is 00:00:00 Denver Broncos rookie running back, Jonah Coleman could be a complete game changer for the Broncos offense in 2026. You are Locked on Broncos, your daily Denver Broncos podcast. Part of the Locked on podcast network, your team every day. What's happening in Broncos country? Cody Roark, Sarah Beddinger here for another episode of Locked on Broncos as we go through when we break down Jonah Coleman. And his potential role here in 2026 as a rookie for your Denver Broncos. We'll go through and predict what we think his usage will be, what his production may be in terms of on-field impact. We'll also go through the entire running back room and how he will impact the potential rotation there is a spot up for grab.

Starting point is 00:00:46 For him, is his spot solidified. We'll go through all that. Plus, we're going to kick things off by talking about why he is a game changer and going through our rookie projection for him here on today's episode of the show. Look, I think, Jonah Coleman, you would think, and we've talked about this as we've highlighted Tyler O'Needademan yesterday's show, you would think. that Jonah Coleman was the first draft pick for the Broncos in this year's NFL draft based on the hype and the buzz surrounding him. I'd say the overall level of excitement. And now he comes to the forefront of our rookie preview. A lot to break down here with Jonah. A lot to like when talk about athletic skill set, what he could potentially bring to the table here. And now he's coming

Starting point is 00:01:25 into a running back room, Sarah, that has two guys ahead of him right now on paper. And those guys specifically are J.K. Dobbins, who is the team's, you know, free agent signing late last offseason who ended up getting a second contract from the Broncos, as well as second round pick R.J. Harvey from the 2025 class, which Cody, I think we saw last season when J.K. Dobbins went down. It felt like nobody really seized the opportunity that was before them, including RJ Harvey, which we know that the vision for him was never really to be a featured, you know, bell cow running back in this offense. Sean Payton. doesn't even really like speaking about the bell cow concept.

Starting point is 00:02:05 But I think ultimately, that's ironically, I guess what the Broncos kind of needed down the stretch last season is somebody that they could just rely on to say, hey, we're going to hand you the ball. We need you to create after the contact. We need you to make plays where maybe there's not a play to be made. And RJ did that, mostly though, as a receiver out of the backfield. And I think that what the Broncos desperately needed was somebody who could work between the tackles, somebody who could be physical, somebody who could be physical, somebody who could

Starting point is 00:02:31 grind out those first downs on, you know, short yarded situations where we saw it really come to a head in the AFC championship game, right? You need two or three yards and, uh, you trust Jared Stidham more to throw the ball on the move than you did to hand it off to any of RJ Harvey, Tyler Badeh or Jaliel McLaughlin or even Adam Prentice, the fullback. So the Broncos didn't feel like they had anyone trustworthy enough to hand the ball to in that kind of a situation late last year, which is why the Jonah Coleman pick was made and why I believe it was so hyped at the time that it was made and why he's been one of the biggest rookies in focus. Coleman was a game changer at Washington.

Starting point is 00:03:11 Obviously, one of the best in this year's class, not a great running back class, but I think Coleman has the opportunity, Cody has a fourth round draft pick to substantially, substantially outplay his NFL draft status. Well, and I think the biggest thing, too, for Denver is going out there and finding an upgrade for what they were lacking last year, right? And it seems like if you look at Jonah Coleman, you look at some of the advanced metrics, which look, I know I'm critical of certain metrics

Starting point is 00:03:37 that get put out there, but I also look at maybe where our player's at. Like, what did the Broncos struggle at last season? And what did this player do well at? Well, it certainly looks like Jonah Coleman was a key target for them in this year's NFL draft, especially with where they were picking here. And obviously, first down or a touchdown run on 35% of his runs in 2025.

Starting point is 00:03:56 That obviously comes out and they ranks first and, his running back class. This is probably the most telling one, though, Sarah. 71% of his rushing yards came after contact. And Washington didn't have a great old line last year. But when you look at it and how it translates, the Broncos last season, they were one of the best rushing offenses in yards before contact. They were 31st in yards after contact in 2025 last season. So Jonah Coleman right here comes in. You project the scheme fit. And you think, okay, hey, this is where he's going to come in and have an impact right away. 12.4 yards after the catch, which ranks first in the running back class. Obviously, yards per carry, number one, in his running back class. And that's also considering

Starting point is 00:04:35 where Jeremiah Love was at. I also think the other thing, too, pass blocking is paramount here for the Broncos and what they want their running backs to do. With JK, he was the primary guy. And we'll dive into maybe where Coleman fits into this room with these guys and their roles coming back into 2026. But he offers you that physicality. He offers you pass protection. He offers you pass protection. He offers you, hey, you need one yard. This is a guy who probably can get that just by making a guy miss or running through somebody's face. The Broncos have a really exciting opportunity here to feature Jonah Coleman a lot as a rookie, even though that JK and RJ are potentially going to have more overall snaps this upcoming season. And we know that Sean Payton has said it's difficult to involve

Starting point is 00:05:16 two running backs, much less three. And I think that unfortunately, that's the situation the Broncos are in. They need to find ways to keep J.K. Dobbins fresh. They need to find ways to better utilize RJ Harvey at what he's really great at. And Jonah Coleman is the answer to the big question that you were kind of discussing there. What is the insurance policy for J.K. Dobbins? What is the Broncos planned in case they need somebody to step into any one of these roles, especially the areas they were weak in last season? And yards after contact, as you mentioned, Cody, was one of those areas that they were

Starting point is 00:05:49 terrible, 31st in the NFL in yards after contact. But that's one of the things that really stands out about Jonah. Coleman consistently getting hit at or near the line of scrimmage and then creating despite that fact ball security awesome just the overall efficiency as a receiver with only one drop on 123 career targets I mean we've seen what this guy can do he may not have the track speed like to be a Devon A. Chan type of player or I love and and what I guess Bo Nix kind of talked about it with Jalen Waddle right it's like hey you start a drive 70 yards away you feel like You know, Jalen Wattle can end that drive in one play because of his explosiveness.

Starting point is 00:06:30 That's not Jonah Coleman's game. He's not that type of player who's going to hit the home run from 70 yards away. But if you need a drive starter, if you need a conversion on third down, if you need to convert in the red zone, and those are the areas where the Broncos desperately need somebody to come in and step up. Those reasons are why I think a lot of fans believe, Cody, that he could take over as this team starting running back at some point in the near future. I'm not saying there's going to be a Wally Pips situation going on here or anything, but there's a lot of confidence about what he brings to the table.

Starting point is 00:07:05 Yeah, and here's another thing, too. I even think about it as well, like Washington's O-line. You talk about the times where Jonah was hit at or before the line of scrimmage. While in Denver, he's not going to really have that problem. Denver's got a much better offensive line. And to the point, I mean, I said it earlier. They had one of the better yards before contact rushing offenses in the NFL, but it was, hey, after contact is made, they were one of the worst.

Starting point is 00:07:28 That's where I think Jonah and his skill set can come in right away, and he can have that impact that maybe Denver didn't have last year offensively. I think JK, obviously I think has that element to his game. But I think JK is kind of this hybrid, not necessarily a powerback, but man, he's got some physicality to run through people, but he's got that finesse and that patience to run behind the offensive line if they pull. He's very patient as a rusher, whereas I think Jonah Coleman, and say, hey, I need you to hit the two hole.

Starting point is 00:07:54 I need you to just, or the A gap for people that maybe not know what the two hole is, hit that hole there and just get three yards. That's what you need. Like third and one situations, no more having to rely. Like you want to be able to have this with Bo Nix, but no more saying like, hey, Bo Nix has to QB sneak this in order for us to even pick up a first down. And the Broncos desperately needed a guy like that.

Starting point is 00:08:15 And you could tell, like we talked about this. We did another video earlier this offseason where we talked about Jonah Coleman having the playmaker label in his Instagram bio, right? And that's exactly what he brings to the table. He is a playmaker at the running back position. And again, you don't want to necessarily make mountains out of molehills when it comes to day three draft picks. But again, this was not a deep running back class at the top end.

Starting point is 00:08:37 We saw two guys go in the first round, Jeremiah Love and Jedarian Price, both from Notre Dame. And then after that point, it was really a beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And we know that Jed Fish, the head coach at Washington, he prioritized. a lot of the things in the West Coast offense coming from the Shanahan tree back in the day for Broncos fans who are old enough to remember he was on Shanahan staff back in 2008 as a wide receivers coach for this Broncos team. And so he brings a lot of those things to the table in terms of with the West Coast offense, what do you ask running backs to do? They need to be able to play

Starting point is 00:09:10 all three downs. They need to be able to pass protect. And Jonah Coleman has really taken that seriously. You know, he's not a one-trick pony at the position. He's got great size. He plays with the low center of gravity. He does all the little things well. And that's what's going to endear him, I think, early on to this coaching staff. Well, one of the things the Broncos need to figure out is what roles different running backs will fit in 2026. And more importantly, what is the role that Jonah Coleman is going to fit? And who is most at risk of getting upended? We'll go through all that here on today's episode of the show.

Jonah Coleman has an opportunity to really reshuffle, I would say,

Starting point is 00:11:32 the entire depth chart at the running back position. I think the assumption right now is J.K. Dobbins is going to be the number one guy, obviously, and he should be. He's top five in pretty much every category and metric last year before his injury at the running back position. But behind him, RJ Harvey Harvey, there's a lot of questions. I'd say maybe a split opinion from the fan base of whether or not RJ is truly going to be solidified as the running back to on this Denver Broncos team.

Starting point is 00:12:00 And then now Jonah coming into the mix, kind of maybe providing a bit more well-rounded skill set, certainly when you compare him to guys like Tyler Badegh, Jalil McLaughlin. Let's just start sorting this out. You're Davis Webb right now, right? And you've got the pecking order of running back sitting there in front of you. How are you kind of viewing this group based on last year and projecting with now, Coleman in the fold. I think it's very hard. I think a lot of people look at it is, okay, who's RB1, who's RB2, who's RB3, whereas the Broncos don't look at any of their

Starting point is 00:12:29 personnel groupings as is that. Sean Payton has said that with his wide receivers. He said it with the tight ends and it also applies to the running backs. But I think the question we have to answer here are what are the roles? What are the archetypes here for this Broncos rushing offense? What are you looking for here? And I think a lot of it, we have to look back at last season. We'll take a look at snap counts here for the Broncos. J.K. Dobbins, as you mentioned, the primary ball carrier. Even though he played in 10 games, he had 51% of the offensive snaps at running back last season. Wasn't anywhere close to anybody else. RJ Harvey, we knew it was kind of that secondary guy. He was kind of coming in and passing

Starting point is 00:13:06 down situations. He could be an effective runner, but he could also be an overall past catching guy. He's that hybrid all around Joker player that Sean Peyton highlights. 42% offensive snaps for RJ through 17 games, even though that, He played in all the games and J.K. Dobbins did not. I think we've got to look right here at Tyler Badegh, Sarah. 18% of the offensive snaps last season in 17 games. He primarily came in third down situations, two minute drills. And even then, Jalil McLaughlin at number four, 16% of the offensive snaps in just eight games.

Starting point is 00:13:37 So really, it kind of tells you that there's two spots that are essentially up for grabs. And look, I don't even think, you know, and not to throw any shade at Tyler Bade. Tyler Badey's probably got the hardest path to making the roster, even though he does so many things well for this team because of the snaps play. You look at Jonah Coleman. They're down, two minute, goal line. It makes sense for a guy like Jonah Coleman to come in and to compete for those primary share of the snaps, which I imagine will probably take place here at training camp.

Starting point is 00:14:06 Well, you need depth, of course, on a roster. But between both Tyler Badee and Jolil McLaughlin last year, there's almost 300 snaps to be divided up. to Jonah Coleman potentially. That's the way that I see it, Cody, because I felt last year like, man, the Broncos kind of force-feeding the Tyler Badee thing a little bit too much.

Starting point is 00:14:27 When it came to two-minute drills, I really felt like it should have been R.J. Harvey out there as a more prominent receiving threat. Now, Badee did a good job with some of his targets last season, but there was also just a frustrating element of, you know, dropped passes, lack of creativity after the catch, or kind of just felt like every time Bade was,

Starting point is 00:14:46 getting the ball, it wasn't necessarily a good thing for the Broncos offense. And again, that's not to say that he doesn't have talent because we know he has speed. You had a touchdown catch on his first ever target with the Denver Broncos. So we know he's got that explosiveness to him, but I would have rather seen those touches and snaps go to Harvey last year, especially given the fact that, man, I mean, they really needed his explosiveness and his creativity after the catch in certain moments. And so I think to me, those nearly, 300 snaps because it was 192 snaps for Tyler Badegh last season and then it was 85 snaps for Jalil McLaughlin. So I'm kind of rounding up to 300. That's what closer to 275, right? I can do math people.

Starting point is 00:15:30 I always joke about I don't like math, you know, at the top of my head, but I did take calculus in college for fun. No, oh my gosh. I can't believe that. No, I actually did. I like puzzles. I like math, but I don't, you know, all thing, all kidding aside, the math jokes aside. there's a lot of snaps to go around for somebody like Jonah Coleman. And I think that what you look at there is, like you said, it's not necessarily the one, two, three pecking order. It's situational football. It's offensive player personnel packages, which we assume they're going to be a lot more streamlined this season for the Broncos

Starting point is 00:16:05 with Davis Webb calling the plays and Sean Payton playing that more CEO role as the head coach. It feels like that too. And it may be, is part of how we're projecting this as well, is it kind of skewed because of the fact. that JK got hurt last year, right? Through 10 games got hurt, 51% of the offensive snaps. But then RJ had to become the primary ball carrier for Denver, where we saw his rushing production in terms of effectiveness on a yard per carry basis.

Starting point is 00:16:29 We also saw the Broncos rushing offense in totality kind of take a little bit of a nose dive. And I think that's because that interrupted the archetypes, the roles that they had. Like, think about this. The Broncos, they didn't have anybody else on this roster after JK went down that kind of fits JK's type of mold. RJ is similar, but people got to remember, RJ was still learning the offense. There are still things that he

Starting point is 00:16:52 was trying to pick up as a season progress. It's not just like you're going to come in and pick it up right away. And say, think for JK, but I think JK being a veteran, you can make up for certain things. For RJ, he impacted the game as such a different way as not only just a rusher, but you talk about the isolated matchup guy in the past catching game.

Starting point is 00:17:09 I think it's hard because JK was not used as that isolated guy. So defenses were able to create tendencies. And I think behind RJ after the fact of JK's injury, there was questions as to who could step up and fill this role. But A's role stayed the same, relatively speaking. We saw a little bit more of Jalil, whereas Jalil at times became Denver's best rusher down the stretch. I mean, I can't see the cheese game. Jalil had some runs where he kind of put the team on his back. RJ had the clutch catch for a touchdown in the final minute or so against KC on Christmas

Starting point is 00:17:40 day. Like they were trying to use those guys well, but from a body type standpoint, man, Denver just didn't have anybody similar to what J.K. brings to the table. Now you go out and you get Jonah Coleman, who 510, what, 225-something pounds. This dude is rocked up. He is going to be someone, I think, not only gives him insurance as we've talked about, but I also think it's going to give them that type of presence that they were missing last season. And knock on wood, let's say J.K. stays fully healthy. The Broncos could truly have a three-headed rushing attack.

Starting point is 00:18:09 That's one thing that Jonah told us shortly after he was drafted is, you know, I'm coming in here to help, you know, kind of be a three-headed monster here in this rushing attack for the Broncos. And he mentioned RJ and JK. So was that something that Sean Payton when they drafted him communicated to him? I mean, we already know pre-draft. He came in on an official visit and loved Denver, raved about Denver. I mean, the Jonah Coleman to Denver connection was there very, very strongly before the NFL

Starting point is 00:18:33 draft even took place. And now we see it coming to fruition. And he's now in a role where he doesn't have all the pressure. He doesn't have to be RB1 right now. That might allow him to grow. press, I think, early on here for this Broncos rushing attack, which I'm excited about. I know Broncos Country is as well. But that's going to lead us into our next portion of today's episode of the show.

Starting point is 00:18:52 Broncos Country, Sarah and I, we're going to go through and share our predictions on Coleman's usage, his potential snap count percentage. And overall production, how many rushing are should we project for him, touchdowns, etc. You'll get all that here on today's episode of the show. Jonah Coleman is coming into a very, very good running back room. and now that features veteran J.K. Dobbins and an exciting young rising player in R.J. Harvey. Harvey but where does he fit and what might his role be? And overall, how might that impact his on-field production? Thanks once again to everyone in Broncos country. All the every day is out there for tuning in, rocking with us here.

Starting point is 00:19:29 We appreciate you so much on the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day. Plus, it's the number one sports podcast network in the country. Thanks to all of you, Sarah. Let's get into this. You know, we did this yesterday with Tyler O'Neum. We're going to do this with every rookie. Some positions like offensive line will be harder. We do Cage Casey's tomorrow, but let's go through and maybe talk about percentage of snaps played here for Jonah as a rookie. Where do we want to set the overall line? I know you kind of gave an indication of 300 snaps potentially for him this upcoming season. I think that would be a valuable asset for him. Is that the bar that we're going to set it at or are we going to set it lower?

Starting point is 00:20:05 Where are you at on this? And then we'll obviously get into how many rushing yards, how many total attempts we think we'll have and maybe even touchdowns. because those are the important metrics too. Yeah, I think, Cody, if it's an ideal world for the Denver Broncos, is J.K. Dobbins playing 51% of the snaps for the entire season, right? I think that's what you have to kind of look at. If that's the case, you could go 50, 51% or 55 even percent for J.K. Dobbins and then say maybe a 30, 25 split between RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman.

Starting point is 00:20:40 And I think that's maybe the ideal. world right there. The question that I have is, is who's the guy who is kind of the one two punch, right? Because in a running back rotation, like we've talked about for the Broncos, it's not RB1, RB2, RB3, it's situational. So does Jonah come in and just specifically replace the Tyler Badee role? Or do the Broncos sort of expand the role that they had for R.J. Harvey last season and push him into the bidet role as well, right? So RJ not necessarily being the guy that, hey, when the Broncos are rotating in and out throughout the course of a game, is Jonah the guy that they first rotate in as the secondary ball carrier? And then when they're in passing downs,

Starting point is 00:21:24 it's RJ Harvey on the field for a lot of the time. I mean, I could see that being the case. I want to see all these guys play and I want to see RJ get his touches. But I think he is going to be more of a past catching weapon than a true ball carrier for the Broncos, maybe not quite to the level of Alvin Camara with the New Orleans Saints, right? Where we know Camara was just a dynamic. I mean, he could put up 2,000 yards from scrimmage in a season because he's getting fed the ball so much. I don't think RJ is going to get fed the ball that much, but I do think that he's going to be more of the change of pace guy as opposed to the, you know, secondary ball carrier, if that makes sense. Can we even maybe talk about

Starting point is 00:22:04 projecting maybe a two-back set, RJ, JK, or even like RJ and Jonah in certain situations, or maybe even JK and Jonah, like a goal line package with those guys. I like Denver's got flexibility, and I think a lot of people aren't necessarily talking about Jonah Coleman's ability to be an effective pass catch. Look, he's not going to be like RJ Harvey in terms of, hey, we're going to isolate him against a Mike backer. We're going to run him on a wheel route for a touchdown the way that we did against the Houston Texans in 2025. That's not what Sean Payton and Davis Weber thinking, but Jonah is a guy that they can get the ball too quickly and they like his yard after the contact ability after the catch.

Starting point is 00:22:41 Obviously, the screen game is going to be a factor. And the fact that now on like short yard of situations, and let's say he is in on third down, well, now you're not really tipping the hand. That's going to be a pass play the way that it was with Badee. And look, that could change obviously with, I'd say, Davis-Web calling plays if Badee kind of maintains that role. But right now it just seems like the Broncos really like R.J.

Starting point is 00:23:00 for that specific role. JK is the guy that is going to be the primary guy. And then I think that they can maybe have an embarrassment of riches here if Jonah Coleman can take over that third down, that two minute, maybe even goal line back roll. But even then RJ is going to play in the goal line because of what? Because of visibility in the passing game. You want to, if teams are going to bracket or let's say just lock up and press

Starting point is 00:23:22 against you guys, well, hey, we are going to get RJ in space or out into the flat where a linebacker has to be covering him underneath. That's going to be, I think, what we see here. from the Broncos going forward. And I think that's the ideal world, right? Is getting the best and utilizing these guys to their biggest strengths, right? Because whether Sean Payton likes the term, I mean, J.K. Dobbins is kind of the bell cow back, right? That's what he does well.

Starting point is 00:23:46 You can hand him the ball a decent number of times throughout the course of a game. We haven't seen really any running backs for the Broncos getting 20 to 25 carries on any sort of regular basis, especially under Sean Payton. but that's the type of player that J.K. Dobbins is, right? I mean, that's who we, like, you hand him the ball that many times. You feel like you can trust him. He averaged five yards to carry last season. And so when you have somebody like that who's not only able to break tackles,

Starting point is 00:24:15 but create explosives, I think he had the fifth most 10 plus yard rushes out of any running back in league at the time of his injury. So you definitely have the opportunity there for explosiveness, I believe, with all three of these guys. And that's what's exciting to me with Jonah Coleman coming in is, yes, it's not a veteran insurance policy. Yes, you're kind of setting yourself up to be in a similar situation late in the season where you have unproven guys largely who are being asked to take on roles if in the event, you know, knock on wood, J.K. Dobbins does miss time, which we hope he doesn't. But Jonah Coleman feels a little bit more like a veteran addition because of what he's good at, right?

Starting point is 00:24:56 because he's so effective as a receiver on third down, because he takes past protecting so seriously, because ball security is such a strength of his, feels like a bit more of an elevated rookie insurance policy and somebody who could genuinely contribute in a meaningful way to getting this offense up to a top 10 level. All right, so let's go through our projections here for him. Touchdowns.

Starting point is 00:25:20 We want to set it at the mind is telling me four and a half, over under four and a half. Do you think that's a good starting point for Jonah considering like what we've talked about if JK is the primary ball carrier, it's getting 51% of the snaps. If RJ's the secondary guy, if Jonah comes in four and a half,

Starting point is 00:25:37 I think would be a nice little bar to set for him. I think so. I mean, RJ had 12 last year. Like that's one of the things that gets underrated too is like he was a machine in the red zone for the Broncos. So I think because of the way that the Broncos involve their guys,

Starting point is 00:25:53 I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Jonah Coleman hit five touchdowns this season, total, especially, but maybe even just as a runner. That would be nice. Okay. So I think four and a half is a fair line to set, rushing, receiving, combined, Broncos country, share yours, obviously as you're tuning into today's show. Let's go through yards in production here. I feel like it'd be hard to just put it on rushing yards here. Let's maybe look at all-purpose yards because I think that's going to matter. I think JK will probably be the primary rusher in terms of yards.

Starting point is 00:26:23 RJ's kind of this all-purpose yards guy. I think Jonah also could be an all-purpose type back as well. So for me, could we set it at 675? Is that too low? I don't know. It's like, is that too low? I don't want to be too generous either. I mean, 675 all-purpose yards,

Starting point is 00:26:40 if he's the third back this upcoming season. Yeah, I don't think that's too low or anything like that. I think that when you look at, okay, we talked about percentages, if it's 55, 30, 25, 35, roughly between these guys and they all play the full season. You kind of expect JK to get

Starting point is 00:26:58 at least 1,100 yards from scrimmage, right? And I'd say R.J. Harvey is going to be somewhere probably in the 800-plus range. And I think ideally Jonah Coleman would be right behind, you know, 5 to 600. And that's, I think that'd be good. Like, for him to contribute that much to the Broncos this year,

Starting point is 00:27:14 500 yards and 5 touchdowns or 600 yards and 6. I mean, that's, that's where I would say, hey, he's really, he really contributed on a high level every time he got onto the field. He was producing for this team and he was giving them a true valuable option, both in the running game and in the passing game. All right.
