New Denver Broncos<\/a> running back Jonah Coleman had a pretty good sense of the team that was going to draft him.<\/p>\n In a video that surfaced after being drafted by the Broncos<\/a> in the fourth round (108th overall<\/a>) of the 2026 NFL draft on Saturday morning, Coleman is seen going up to a podium and saying, “With the 62nd pick in the 2026 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos<\/a> select Jonah Coleman, University of Washington, running back,” as the cameraman cheers. Thankfully, Coleman was right about the team (but he was 46 selections off in his projection).<\/p>\n Coleman re-tweeted the video, saying he “spoke into existence” on his Twitter\/X page:<\/p>\n Coleman was vocal about how much the Broncos<\/a> impressed him in the pre-draft process<\/a>. In a Yahoo interview before the draft, Coleman elaborated about Denver’s plan for him.<\/p>\n “When a team has a situation or a plan, or something mapped out for you, like they literally had an idea mapped out, a plan for me, if I was to get drafted by the Denver Broncos<\/a>, that’s ultimately what you want,” Coleman told Yahoo. “You want to be put in a good situation. It’s not about when you get drafted, what round. It’s about what place you go, where you fit.”<\/p>\n Need a news break?

Dobbins and RJ Harvey in a three-back rotation. Head coach Sean Payton called Coleman<\/a> “very physical… He’s smart, he’s tough,” in his post-Day 3 press conference with the Denver media.<\/p>\n Coleman was excited before. He must be even more excited now!<\/p>\n Social: Follow\u00a0Broncos Wire<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Twitter\/X<\/a>!\u00a0Did you know:\u00a0These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 27, 2026, 6:02 a.m. MT New Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman had a pretty good sense…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":634095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[202558,64,63,593,85,218769,218770,203469,204525,203146,203142,203149,202563,203139,307142,202561],"class_list":{"0":"post-634094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-sstssportsnflbroncos","14":"tag-sstsnbroncos","15":"tag-tagamerican-football","16":"tag-tagdenver-broncos","17":"tag-tagnational-sports","18":"tag-tagnfl","19":"tag-tagnfl-hub","20":"tag-tagoverall-positive","21":"tag-tagsports-news","22":"tag-taguniversity-of-washington","23":"tag-typestory"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=634094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/634095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
