Phillip Lindsay on Broncos running backs — Jonah Coleman steals the show in preseason opener
Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay break down the Broncos’ run‑game explosion in their preseason win over the Falcons.
Phil — a former NFL running back — says the biggest takeaway is simple: Denver will run the ball more this year, and preseason Game 1 proved why. RJ Harvey flashed burst and decisiveness, but the room lit up when rookie Jonah Coleman took the field. Zach highlights Coleman’s spin move, contact balance, patience, and surprising speed for his size, calling him the most exciting RB on the field.
Phil then turns to Jaleel McLaughlin, who showed juice but put the ball on the ground again — and Phil warns he cannot afford another fumble if he wants to secure his roster spot.
This is the inside look at a Broncos run game that suddenly feels deeper, tougher, and more explosive.
