Yahoo Sports

A handful of NFL teams have hosted former Washington running back Jonah Coleman ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, including a promising visit to Denver.

Former Washington Huskies star running back Jonah Coleman has been one of the more talked-about 2026 NFL draft prospects in the last month. Recently, the 5-foot-9, 229-pound Stockton, California native has made pre-draft visits to the Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings, and several others, but his trip to meet with the Denver Broncos may have been the most telling. On Thursday, Coleman joined The Rich Eisen Show and detailed his experience speaking with coach Sean Payton.

“We had a quick conversation. He just pretty much asked me how I was doing. He said that he was excited to have me there.

It was great meeting him,” Coleman said. Former Washington running back Jonah Coleman joins The Rich Eisen Show to break down his meetings with Sean Payton and the Broncos 👀 pic. twitter.

Since then, Coleman has visited the Vikings, where his former college position coach Scottie Graham made his name in the league from 1993-96, and the Broncos, who hold seven picks in the 2026 draft and could be lining up J.
