OBT: Can Jonah Coleman Push for RB1 — Dirty Work, Early Impact & the Dobbins Challenge
Description
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey breaks down why Jonah Coleman might be more than just a fourth‑round steal — he might be a real threat to shake up the Broncos’ backfield sooner than anyone expected. Coleman has the traits of a featured NFL running back, and the question now is simple: can he actually push JK Dobbins for the starting job.
Coleman isn’t just insurance for a Dobbins injury. He’s powerful, decisive, and — maybe most importantly — he loves the dirty work, especially pass protection, the one area that usually keeps rookies off the field. If he continues to excel there, he could wedge his way into the rotation immediately, not eventually.
Is Coleman a future RB1. Could he be a present‑day problem for defenses. And how quickly can he force Sean Payton’s hand.
