Jonah Coleman is joining a three-running back rotation with the Broncos, and he's willing to do 'the dirty work' to get on the field as a rookie.

After being picked by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the NFL draft, rookie running back Jonah Coleman is walking into a crowded running back room in the NFL. Coleman will join J. K.

Dobbins and RJ Harvey in Denver's backfield, and he's poised to begin his pro career as RB3. He's eager to join the three-back rotation this summer. โ€œWell, obviously, just playing my role and doing what I do," Coleman said when asked about his potential role.

"The leadership that I bring to the locker room, the culture, how I can ultimately add to that culture that they haveโ€ฆ Just being able to come in and be with guys like RJ Harvey, J. K. Dobbins and stuff like that.

You ultimately have a three-headed monster in the run game. I believe thatโ€™s where it starts, in the trenches. โ€ One big element that Coleman brings to the backfield rotation is reliable pass-blocking.
