Yahoo Sports NFL on Jonah Coleman

Payton impressed by Coleman's balance, elusiveness, and short-area quickness.

Rookie running back impressed head coach Sean Payton in his preseason debut with just four carries; Payton praised his balance, elusiveness for his size, and short-area quickness. The source notes Coleman is a compact, stronger running back with good burst and short-area quickness that will play well in the NFL, and paired with his vision and physical play style, he could be a handful for NFL defenses. Payton said after just two or three carries, 'I've seen enough here' and pulled him to avoid unnecessary hits, contrasting with Arizona's approach of giving Jeremiyah Love 14 touches in his preseason debut (resulting in an ankle sprain).
