Coleman's selfless play and high IQ earn Payton's praise; positioned as flex option.

Rookie running back Jonah Coleman is positioned as a flex/bench option if Dobbins and/or Harvey are sidelined or limited. Coleman helped ice the game late in the 4th quarter on Sunday vs. the Jaguars, demonstrating high football IQ and selfless play; he smartly slid inbounds after picking up a first down to keep the clock running rather than padding stats. Head coach Sean Payton has repeatedly said Coleman does not feel like a rookie, and he earned real praise from Payton, Bo Nix, and others after the comeback victory. The source believes Coleman earned the right to see more playing time moving forward.
