As the NFL Scouting Combine unfolds, Seattle’s affiliation with evaluating running backs remains active, with president of football operations and general manager John Schneider evaluating top prospects. Among those generating chatter is Washington Huskies star Jonah Coleman, who has drawn interest from analysts as a potential fit for the Seahawks.
Brock Huard, a local voice in Seattle sports, highlighted Coleman as an intriguing candidate, noting his dramatic body transformation and explosive athletic testing could boost his draft stock. Huard suggested Coleman could appeal to Seattle in the middle rounds if he performs well in Indianapolis, potentially making him a practical target in the third or fourth round.
Coleman’s recent production reflects his uptick in usage after transferring to Washington, concluding with 1,053 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024, then posting 758 yards and 15 rushing touchdowns in 2025, along with career-best receiving numbers. This combination of rushing and receiving ability adds versatility that could appeal to the Seahawks’ offense.
Beyond Coleman, the draft conversation includes a possible crossover target at wide receiver, with analysts proposing a Huskies connection to bolster Seattle’s WR room behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Suggestions include Denzel Boston as a potential long-term option who could bring size and run-after-catch ability to complement Seattle’s receiving corps.
In short, Seattle’s draft strategy could center on shoring up the running back position after Walker, while also evaluating Huskies prospects who could contribute in multiple roles. As the Combine shapes the perception of mid-round RB prospects, Coleman remains a name to watch for his potential fit with the Seahawks.
