Jonah Coleman Showed Out at UW Pro Day: Here's What the Former Husky Did
Jonah Coleman had one last chance to ball out at Montlake, and Monday at the Dempsey Indoor Facility, the former Washington running back made the most of it. His Pro Day workout mattered big time because he basically sat out the on-field stuff at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. This was his real shot to show scouts what he could do.
The Combine Gamble That Led to a Strong Pro Day
At the Combine, Coleman bench-pressed 225 pounds 22 times and did interviews with teams, but he made a smart call to skip the on-field drills. Why? He needed more time to rehab an ankle injury he suffered at Wisconsin. The 5-foot-8, 220-pound back wasn't going to risk it when he could use those weeks to get right.
Fast forward to Monday, and Coleman was ready. He still didn't run or jump, but he participated in all the on-field drills, including pass routes. That's a big deal for a guy coming off injury. It showed scouts he's mobile and can contribute in the passing game, which is huge for a running back in today's NFL game.
What's Next for Coleman and the Huskies
Coleman took advantage of his post-workout media session to talk about his decision not to run, his Combine experience, how the 2026 UW running backs room is shaping up, and how his Wisconsin injury affected his offseason. For a back looking to prove he belongs in the league, these Pro Days aren't just about the numbers. They're about proving you're healthy, you're coachable, and you fit what NFL teams are looking for in the modern game.
The Emerald City's always got love for Husky players making that jump to the pros. Coleman's got his shot now. All eyes will be on where he lands come draft time.
