Former Washington Huskies running back Jonah Coleman recently had a local visit with the Seahawks, which is an important distinction to make because that means he does not count toward Seattle’s top 30 visits total .

In an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Justin Melo , Coleman brought up his time meeting with John Schneider and new running backs coach Thomas Hammock. Jonah Coleman: I had formal interviews at the NFL Combine with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, and Houston Texans. I visited the Seattle Seahawks.

I met the GM [John Schneider] and that was great. I had a great conversation with their running backs coach. We saw eye-to-eye on literally everything we were talking about.

We ran an identical offense at Washington to many NFL teams. The terminology was very similar. I have in-person visits with the Broncos and Minnesota Vikings in early April.
