Washington Husky fans are paying special attention to Jonah Coleman in the NFL. The Denver Broncos selected Coleman in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. He was immediately slotted in as the No. 2 or No. 3 back in the Broncos' rotation. Yet, he had the ability to get some mileage in year one of the NFL.

As OTAs are underway, Coleman has made some really positive impressions with the Broncos and Sean Payton. He is now even earning first-team reps at times, and that will have Husky fans smiling about his time in the NFL. Not only that, but Tyler Polumbus said that he looked good with the 1s.

Coleman is not stealing reps from J.K. Dobbins, and last year's starter is fully planning to be the lead back. However, the Broncos are managing workloads and helping get Dobbins up to speed. They may be doing a similar thing with RJ Harvey, who is currently listed as the No. 2 back on ESPN's Denver Broncos depth chart.

However, there are many that are already starting to talk about Coleman sliding into the No. 2 position and getting some pass-catching and alternate running duties. ESPN has Coleman listed as No. 3 right now on the depth chart, but there's clearly going to be a chance for him to steal reps.

Coleman will not shy away from the competition and will do everything in his power to be someone that Payton can rely on. He is a monster in the backfield and has 3,054 yards in his college career. He averaged over five yards per carry in college with 34 rushing touchdowns.

There's no doubt he has some pop in the NFL, and it won't take him long to be a mainstay. He will also already have some fantasy football relevance as a rookie.
