Mike Klis interview: How quickly is Jonah Coleman taking over the Broncos backfield?

The Broncos just knocked off the Chiefs and moved into first place in the AFC West, and one of the biggest reasons was the explosive play of rookie running back Jonah Coleman.

After another strong performance, the conversation has officially shifted from whether Coleman deserves more touches to whether he's already becoming Denver's RB1.

9News Broncos insider Mike Klis joins Stokley and Evans with Mark Schlereth to discuss Coleman's growing role, how Sean Payton views the rookie, and whether the Broncos are preparing to give him a larger share of the workload moving forward. With Bo Nix gaining confidence and the offense finding its rhythm, Denver may have uncovered one of the most important pieces of its future.
