Jonah Coleman Could Become a Key Contributor for the Denver Broncos

OOSSports 🚀

Ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, former Washington Huskies running back Jonah Coleman was considered one of the position’s most intriguing prospects.

Despite entering a draft class widely viewed as lacking depth at running back, Coleman remained available until the fourth round. He became the fourth player selected at the position, following Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price, along with Indiana’s Kaelon Black.

Coleman now joins a crowded Denver Broncos backfield featuring J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey. However, his versatility and physical playing style could help him quickly earn a dependable role in head coach Sean Payton’s rotation.

During his college career, Coleman recorded 1,811 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns while adding 54 receptions for 531 yards and two scores. His impressive production led NFL.com analyst Gennaro Filice to name him the Broncos’ best selection of the 2026 draft.

“The production speaks for itself,” Coleman told Kay Adams ahead of the draft.

NFL.com’s Gennaro Filice also highlighted Coleman’s powerful frame and ability to maximize every rushing opportunity in a post he wrote about his favorite picks in the 2026 NFL Draft:

“At 5-8 and 220 pounds, Coleman has the aesthetic I’m consistently drawn to at this position,” Filice wrote. “What can I say? I love bowling-ball backs! Like J.K. Dobbins, Coleman isn’t going to hit many home runs but will please Sean Payton by getting the most out of each carry.”

Coleman’s pass-protection skills could help him earn early opportunities, while his ability to avoid defenders may be his greatest strength. According to Pro Football Focus, he averaged 0.316 forced missed tackles per carry during his career. That was the fourth-best mark in college football since 2014, trailing only Bijan Robinson, Ashton Jeanty, and David Montgomery. Following an AFC Championship Game loss, Denver will look for additional playmakers capable of helping the team remain competitive. Coleman’s power, balance, and elusiveness between the tackles and in open space could make him a valuable addition in one of the NFL’s toughest divisions.

Eye-popping Bo Nix stat sparks AFC West debate

By: @OOSSports

Quarterback debates are inherently subjective, and few generate more disagreement than the conversation surrounding Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. Broncos fans and local media regularly defend Nix, but Denver Post columnist Troy Renck recently presented a more objective argument built around production.

In a post Friday, Renck compared three AFC West quarterbacks over the past two seasons without initially revealing their identities.

Quarterback A posted a 21-9 record while completing 65.3% of his passes for 7,515 yards, 48 touchdowns, and 22 interceptions. He also took 70 sacks, rushed for 729 yards, and scored seven times on the ground.

Quarterback B went 22-11 with a 66.1% completion rate, 7,597 passing yards, 49 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. He absorbed 95 sacks while adding 804 rushing yards and four rushing scores.

Quarterback C finished 24-10 while completing 64.8% of his passes for 7,706 yards, 54 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions. He took only 46 sacks, rushed for 786 yards, scored nine rushing touchdowns, and added one receiving score.

Patrick Mahomes was Quarterback A. Justin Herbert was Quarterback B. Nix was Quarterback C.

The comparison does not establish Nix as the best quarterback in the division. It does, however, show that his production belongs in the same conversation as two of the NFL’s most established stars.

Bo Nix’s ability to avoid negative plays stands out

The most revealing part of Renck’s comparison involves sacks.

Nix has been sacked only 46 times across the past two seasons. Herbert has taken 95 sacks during that span, while Mahomes has absorbed 70.

Some of that advantage reflects Sean Payton’s emphasis on protecting the football and avoiding drive-killing mistakes. Nix has responded by getting the ball out quickly, extending plays when necessary, and limiting the negative situations that can derail an offense.

That does not mean Nix is a finished product.

He still must improve when attacking the middle of the field, and Denver needs to reduce its extended stretches of three-and-outs. A more reliable running game would also create easier situations for Nix, although the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers face similar offensive concerns.

Herbert’s postseason résumé remains another part of the discussion. Despite his arm talent and prototypical physical tools, he has yet to win a playoff game and has struggled in postseason losses against the Houston Texans and New England Patriots.

Nix may not look as physically imposing as Herbert, nor does he own Mahomes’ championship résumé. Still, his 24-10 record, touchdown production, mobility, and ability to avoid sacks make him increasingly difficult to dismiss.

The eye test may continue to divide NFL fans.

The numbers give Nix a compelling argument.

Broncos face uncomfortable Bo Nix question after late-game magic in 2025

By: @OOSSports

Sunday, June 14th, 2026

The Denver Broncos built much of their 2025 breakthrough season on late-game magic, and quarterback Bo Nix stood at the center of it.

In only his second NFL season, Nix helped push the Broncos to the AFC Championship Game as the conference’s No. 1 seed. His late-game command became one of Denver’s defining traits, especially as the Broncos finally wrestled the AFC West away from the Kansas City Chiefs.

However, that success also created one of the biggest questions around Denver entering 2026.

The Broncos won 11 one-score games last season, the most in the NFL. NFL Media’s Matt Okada pointed to that number as a potential warning sign.

“Last season, the Broncos won 11 one-score games, most in the NFL. But leading the league in that stat is historically inauspicious, as it tends to result in regression toward the mean the ensuing year,” Okada wrote. “For example, Kansas City won 11 contests decided by one score in 2024 to just one in 2025. With an elite defense and an improved offense, including trade acquisition Jaylen Waddle, Denver is positioned to compete in the AFC again. That is if they can keep winning tight games in 2026.”

That is the balance facing Denver.

Nix proved he could handle pressure, extend games, and deliver in the fourth quarter. Still, relying on dramatic finishes every week is rarely a sustainable formula. The Broncos often allowed lesser opponents to hang around, forcing Nix to create late solutions instead of letting Denver control games earlier.

That has been a recurring issue under Sean Payton, and it is one the Broncos must correct.

Adding Jaylen Waddle should help. His speed gives Denver a more explosive element and should allow new play-caller Davis Webb to attack defenses more aggressively. The Broncos need to build leads, stretch defenses, and put opponents away before the final drive.

Denver still has the defense, quarterback, and improved offensive firepower to contend in the AFC. The next step is proving last season’s close-game success was not just good fortune.

For Nix and the Broncos, 2026 will reveal whether the magic was a foundation or a warning sign.

Broncos rookie linebacker earns praise from Sean Payton amid roster battle

The Denver Broncos’ search for depth at inside linebacker might have possibly revealed an unexpected contender. Rookie Jordan Turner impressed in the preseason, and on Tuesday, head coach Sean Payton publicly praised Turner — a rare nod for someone battling to earn a roster spot.

Turner joined Denver following rookie minicamp in May after going undrafted out of Michigan State in the 2025 NFL Draft. He spent three seasons at with the Spartans before transferring, posting 107 tackles, eight sacks, and five interceptions in 42 collegiate games.

In the Broncos’ second preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, Turner co-led the team in tackles and recorded 1.5 sacks. His effort built momentum in a crowded linebacker room that has seen competition from fellow undrafted rookies Levelle Bailey and Karene Reid.

The Mile High Huddle’s Chad Jensen reported the following remarks from Payton, former New Orleans Saints head coach and current Broncos coach.

“Obviously, coming in like that, coming in a little later, I think he’s picked things up pretty well, and that’s a plus. The exposures you get in the kicking game and those other snaps are important, but he has picked things up pretty quickly.”

Denver’s starting duo of Alex Singleton and Dre Greenlaw brings experience but also injury concerns, leaving the team reliant on depth. Justin Strnad, who started eight games last season, is expected to return as the primary reserve, but roster math will determine if multiple young linebackers can stick.

The Broncos face their final preseason test Saturday against the New Orleans Saints, with final roster cuts due Tuesday. Turner will have one more chance to prove that Payton’s endorsement wasn’t just preseason praise, but a sign he belongs on the 53-man roster.

Broncos fans will love this new development out of training camp

The Denver Broncos are wasting no time building on last season’s momentum—and one of their newest additions is already stepping into a leadership role.

Veteran running back JK Dobbins, signed in mid-June after a strong 2024 campaign with the Chargers, is quickly becoming a vocal presence in Broncos training camp. Despite being with the team for only a few weeks, the 26-year-old is showing his comfort level and confidence by taking charge on the field.

During Friday’s session, Dobbins was seen coaching up teammates between plays, bringing energy in drills, and setting the tone in the backfield—actions that speak volumes about his impact so far.

New Faces, New Culture

Dobbins joins a revamped Denver backfield that includes dynamic rookie RJ Harvey. The group is expected to share touches this season, but Dobbins is already leading by example. His quick rise as a tone-setter is a reflection of the Broncos’ locker room culture—a structure that allows newcomers to find their voice early.

And that, frankly, is refreshing to see.

L.A. Let Him Walk. Denver Is Listening.

Dobbins was quietly effective in Los Angeles last season, but the Chargers opted not to re-sign him. Instead, they brought in Najee Harris in free agency and drafted Omarion Hampton. There’s a real chance Denver ends up with the best of the bunch—and that reality hasn’t gone unnoticed around the league.

Now with a new team and fresh motivation, Dobbins looks ready to prove he’s far from finished.

Battle-Tested and Hungry

Injuries have been a major theme throughout Dobbins’ career, but they’ve also shaped his mentality. It’s possible that experience is part of what makes his voice in camp so powerful—he’s not just leading, he’s leading with perspective.

Whether it’s in the meeting room or inside the huddle, Dobbins is becoming a guy younger players can rally around. For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, that’s exactly what you want from a veteran addition.

Bottom Line

It’s early, but JK Dobbins isn’t acting like someone who just got to Denver. He’s acting like someone who belongs—and Broncos coaches and players are clearly taking notice.

Courtland Sutton earns $92 Million payday after Broncos resurgence

The Denver Broncos are locking in a key piece of their offensive core.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton has agreed to terms on a four-year, $92 million contract extension that will keep him with the franchise through the 2029 season. The deal reaffirms Sutton’s importance to Denver’s offense and rewards him for a two-year resurgence that proved he still belongs among the league’s top pass catchers.

The #Broncos and WR Courtland Sutton have agreed to terms on a four-year, $92 extension, sources tell The Insiders.

How Sutton Earned It

Sutton (6-foot-4, 216 pounds) entered the NFL as a second-round pick out of SMU in 2018. He broke out early in his career, earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2019 after posting 72 catches, 1,112 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. But injuries and quarterback instability slowed his production in the seasons that followed.

Everything changed in 2023 and 2024.

Sutton hauled in a career-high 10 touchdowns in 2023 while catching passes from Russell Wilson. He followed that up with his most complete season yet in 2024, thriving in first-round pick Bo Nix’s rookie campaign. Sutton set a new career high with 81 receptions and finished with 1,081 receiving yards—second only to his 2019 total. He also scored eight touchdowns, proving he could still be a reliable red-zone threat.

Now entering his age-29 season, Sutton was originally set to earn $14 million in the final year of his deal. Instead, he’ll now be under contract through 2029 and is positioned to finish his career in Denver. If he plays through the extension, Sutton will have earned nearly $162 million in total career earnings, including just under $70 million through the 2025 season.

Impact on the Broncos’ Future

Locking up Sutton solidifies a top weapon for Nix as the team aim to build sustained success around their young franchise quarterback. It also keeps Denver’s pass-catching group stable as the team prepares for a competitive AFC West slate.

Up next on general manager George Paton’s list could be new deals for rising defensive standouts. Edge rusher Nik Bonitto, and defensive linemen Zach Allen and John Franklin-Myers—all scheduled to hit free agency in 2026—are likely extension candidates as the front office looks to secure long-term continuity on both sides of the ball.

Broncos QB Bo Nix leads quiet offseason workouts with Broncos teammates in Idaho

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is already showing why he’s the face of the franchise heading into his second NFL season.

Just days after the Broncos wrapped up their spring offseason program on June 12th, Nix quietly brought together teammates in Idaho for a series of player-led workouts from June 16-18. There were no social media posts, no fanfare, and no cameras—just focused preparation for the 2025 NFL season.

The initiative was revealed by tight end Adam Trautman during an interview with Mike Klis of 9News. Trautman shared that Nix organized the sessions with receivers, tight ends, and running backs to work on timing, chemistry, and off-field bonding.

“This was the first one where it wasn’t after the Fourth of July in my entire career,’’ Trautman told Klis. “It was actually pretty nice. I think everybody kind of liked that because you didn’t have time off, you jumped right back into it and you felt body-wise like you were ready to do it all.”

The three-day workout window gave players a chance to fine-tune their playbook knowledge and maintain rhythm before the final stretch of summer. Afterward, Broncos veterans had a month-long break before reporting for training camp this week.

Now recharged and ready to roll, Nix and the offensive unit are expected to build on that momentum as they prepare for preseason action next month.

Nix’s rookie season in 2024 set the bar high. He threw for 3,775 yards and 29 touchdowns with a 93.3 passer rating, leading the Broncos to a 10-7 record and their first playoff berth since 2015. He broke multiple franchise rookie records and proved to be a stabilizing force at a position that had been in flux since Peyton Manning’s retirement.

Now entering 2025, the Broncos hope this early commitment by their quarterback translates into even greater chemistry and execution. With second-year confidence, deeper knowledge of Sean Payton’s offense, and a strong supporting cast, Nix’s offseason leadership could make all the difference.
