Former Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt was really impressed with new Broncos running back Jonah Coleman.
"The Broncos got the steal of the draft in RB Jonah Coleman," Butt tweeted on Monday. "You’ll love him as player, but even more as a person. Great runner, vision, feel for cut backs, but also great in pass pro. Catches the ball well. NFL starter."
The Broncos selected Coleman with the 108th pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft on Saturday morning, and it is already proving to be a great relationship. Prior to the draft, Coleman called Denver the "highlight" of his draft process. After the draft wrapped up, a video surfaced of Coleman calling his own shot to the Broncos from behind an NFL draft podium.
Coleman appears poised to serve as Denver's RB3 behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey in the Davis Webb-led offense going into 2026. Butt and others seem to believe he could be a steal.

I think the Broncos getting Jonah Coleman in the 4th is a pretty good steal, great power back to put next to RJ Harvey. #NFLDraft

Jonah Coleman in the fourth round is such a good value pick for the Denver Broncos.
Jonah Coleman was also a popular at 62. So saying it’s great value at 108 is an understatement.
