Draft analyst calls 2026 prospect 'a thick version' of Kyren Williams
A team who wants a bigger version of Kyren Williams could be interested in this 2026 running back prospect.
Many teams will be looking to try to find their version of Kyren Williams in the 2026 NFL draft. Not necessarily a carbon copy of the Los Angeles Rams ' starting running back, but a player who could take on that role after being drafted late. Well, The Ringer's Danny Kelly may have found a similar version of Williams in the 2026 draft.
On an episode of Mina Kimes' podcast , Kelly compared Washington running back Jonah Coleman to "a thick version" of the Williams. Coleman is 5-foot-8 and 220 pounds, while Williams is 5-foot-9 and 207 pounds. "I remember Kyren [Williams] coming out — you could swap over everything we said [about Williams onto Coleman].
He's good in pass pro. He's like the best pass protector in the draft. He's good in the receiving game.
He's just slow," Kelly said of Coleman. "There's plenty of worlds where Coleman doesn't do anything in the NFL, we forget about him in two years. [But] if he gets matched up with the right coach in the right scheme, I think he could be a very productive runner in the NFL.
