Jadarian Price Vs Jonah Coleman: Inside the Numbers!

[Seattle Person]

I want to dive fully into the raw numbers of both Jadarian Price and Jonah Coleman. I see a lot of people connecting Price to #32. To be clear, I like Price. I always have. However...is it the most efficient route? Both of these players produce big yards. Is Price that much better and is he really RB #2? I think this offense wants big plays but at a consistent pace. They want to take the soul of the other team. Wear you down. Let's dive in.

Jadarian Price: 2024 Season:

• Negative Yards: 15%
• No Gain: 5%
• 1-4 Yards: 45%
• 5-9 Yards -- (35 rushes) & (1 reception)
• 10-15 Yards -- (14 rushes) & (3 reception)
• 16-24 Yards -- (9 rushes)
• 25 and more -- (5 rushes) & (1 reception)

Jadarian Price: 2025 Season:

• Negative Yards: 11%
• No Gain: 8%
• 1-4 Yards: 42%
• 5-9 Yards -- (20 rushes)
• 10-15 Yards -- (13 rushes)
• 16-24 Yards -- (7 rushes)
• 25 and more -- (5 rushes)

Jonah Coleman: 2024 Season:

• Negative Yards: 6%
• No Gain: 6%
• 1-4 Yards: 55%
• 5-9 Yards -- (24 rushes) & (6 receptions)
• 10-15 Yards -- (29 rushes) & (7 receptions)
• 16-24 Yards -- (1 rushes) & (1 reception)
• 25 and more -- (8 rushes)

Jonah Coleman: 2025 Season:

• Negative Yards: 8%
• No Gain: 7%
• 1-4 Yards: 49%
• 5-9 Yards -- (35 rushes) & (12 receptions)
• 10-15 Yards -- (13 rushes) & (8 receptions)
• 16-24 Yards -- (3 rushes) & (1 reception)
• 25 and more -- (5 rushes) & (4 receptions)

Synthesis:

1. Jonah Coleman: He's going to get explosives in a different way. What Coleman really brings to the table is what I'm going to coin 'chunky yards.' These are plays that net 10-15 yards. They aren't home runs. They are doubles. They can demoralize a defense. Coleman doesn't lose yards as often. You are going to have to live with the fact that Coleman's runs are going to net 4 yards or less over 50%-55% most of the time. He doesn't lose yards, he might get stuffed more than you want, and a lot of his runs are going to be 1-4 yards. The other times, he is going to get you chunky yards! This is through the ground and the air.
2. Jadarian Price: Good option for the Seahawks. He produces big plays and explosive plays (10+ yards) at over 20% for the last 2 seasons. However, if he is caught behind the line, you see he tends to not escape and loses yards more often. With Price, you're going to have a better chance at those intermediate explosives (16-24 yards). Remember, Price didn't get many touches in college. He only averaged about 10 rushes a game. He also does a good job at getting those chunky yards. He does a great job at getting those meat and potato yards (5-9 yards). You just have a much better chance of him breaking a play 15 yards or more.

Nice breakdown. On the PSFN mock drafts Price could go in the late second. There is alot of narative behind Price to fall that far in my opinion. We had Jonah in for a visit.

I see safety, cornerback and edge in our future. After that, a runningback.

Rob Staton's league contacts have Price as a second or third round RB. I think the general internet crowd pushed Price up to the first round because of Walker's departure. The same way Malik Willis got pushed up the internet mocks because of Wilson's departure. I agree that they're looking at DE, CB, and safety and potentially OG if Pregnon is there. If they go RB, it's because Schneider traded for an extra 3rd or 4th.

I think Pregnon will be there. It's one of those as the board falls things. We gotta trade down. Get some premium picks OR take Pregnon(?) Is Pregnon at 39 or 45.....Bradford was a top 30 visit

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

My take is Seattle will pick up who they believe is the better current pass blocker. I don’t think either of these guys are in the mold of Ken Walker and both don’t possess overall first round grades from me. Both will go second round with Coleman possibly sliding to round 3.

Considering Seattle ran Charb, half the time and about 99 percent of goal line carries, Seattle’s offense does not need the most explosive back but primarily needs the most consistent 6 to 7 yard gains during run downs. I can Seattle wanting another Charbonnet “clone” instead of a Walker “clone.”

I don’t believe Seattle drafts a back with their first round pick. They go BPA or trade down with whatever team wants the last pick. My take is Seattle waits for a team to trade up with Seattle, if not, Seattle takes Cisse, if he is available.

Thanks for the effort, but no and no thank-you.

As an oline guy, I'd love to see that. I'd be highly surprised if they went oline though, even if they couldn't find a partner to trade down.

Yeah...

I don't think first round RB is on the table.

As in no overall?

They are both pretty good options in rounds 2 and 3.

Yeah, sorry. Coleman is redundant to Emanuel Wilson and Price is redundant to Holani.
I want our top picks used on D & maybe RG.
Personally there are only 3 or 4 RB's I would take late day 2 or day 3. I am banking on Charbs coming back before mid season coupled with the hope of Wilson, Holani, McIntosh + more.

Just one of many opinions though.

 

[Atradees]

What about the Penn State RBs? I heard one was clocked at 23.6 mph. They are rated much lower in the draft projections.

Nicholas Singleton. 4.35 40. 6'0 220lbs
Katron Allen. 96 PFF rushing grade.

I get it. I don't probably agree with it.

As it stands right now, I think I'll be shocked if the team doesn't come out of the draft with Price, Coleman, or Washington Jr.

The Seahawks have a lot of RBs but you have to continue to add to it.

Nicholas Singleton
Katron Allen

Singleton is interesting for sure.

Good pass protector.

Good pass catcher.

Really explosive. Probably faster and more explosive than both Price and Coleman. He doesn't have much wiggle and goes down easier than some of the top backs.

Rob Rang: Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington

I almost want to chuckle when I hear people criticize the 2026 draft's running backs because as a life-long Washington state resident I know how often quality football in our region gets overlooked – until it proves it's supremacy.

Coleman is a brute at 5-8 and 220 pounds, and he runs with the vision, burst and determination that screams longtime NFL contributor. Playmaker? Coleman scored 37 touchdowns in four seasons at the college level.

Effective on third down? Coleman caught 87 passes and is among the most stout and alert pass protectors of his positional group.

Ball security? Coleman fumbled once in 639 career touches.

And, of by the way, he was a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy this past season – also known as the Academic Heisman – graduating from UW with a 3.93 GPA in Education.

 

[Shane Falco]

I think the knock on Coleman is just little bit of injury concerns.

 

[CPHawk]

Coleman. No 100 yds games vs top 25 teams. No 100 yards games last year vs any BIG opponents. He was a flat track bully. I’m not looking for a RB that goes for 3 yards vs the Rams.

Well...

Going to be really fun if he's on the team.

 

[Kamcussionator]

There's going to be a bunch of quality RBs at the end of 3, top of 4. Everyone is going to be picking WR/CB/OL in the first two rounds because that's where the value is. Love, Price, and maybe Washington will go in the first two rounds to teams with a need. But then they will have their back and Colman, Singleton, Emmett Johnson will have a long wait until they become overwhelming BPA.

I wouldn't be surprised if we had the same RB options at 96 as are at 64. It would make a lot of sense to me to trade down 32 1-5 spots or 64 down 7-10 spots just so we can get another pick in the 96 range. That would give us one of the tier II RBs and a second quality DB. (Assuming we go EDGE/DB in our first two picks.)

 

[Smellyman]

Price ran through holes that were huge and has a 1.61 10 yard split. I think his explosiveness is overblown. Coleman might be slower and never played great other than against the sisters of the poor. I would just assume go with what we got or go VERY late in the draft

 

[Seattle Person]

Bonus player!

Someone I want to highlight. Emmett Johnson is someone that has grown on me. I still like Jonah Coleman (1) and Jadarian Price (2) more. I personally have Coleman over Price. Differing opinions. That's ok. I think Coleman has shown he can shoulder more of the load, make dudes miss, and still pick up big yards. All while being able to provide better pass protection and catching abilities. He checks more boxes for me.

Back to Emmett Johnson. If the team wants someone different -- he might be a good option. He's not an explosive merchant. He's a pest. If Price lives in the 15+ yards range, Coleman lives in the 11-14 yards range -- Emmett Johnson lives in that 5-9 yard range pretty safely.

*2025 Season: 5-9 Yards: 72 Runs & 20 receptions

*2025 Season: 10-15 Yards: 28 Runs & 8 receptions

Emmett Johnson (252 runs) had more than twice the amount of rushes than Jadarian Price (113 runs) in the 2025 season! Yet, still had less negative yard rushes than Price. Wild. 10 negative rushes compared to 12 negative rushes this season.

I don't know if the Seahawks are interested in Emmett Johnson. Reports were the team had representatives at the Nebraska Pro Day. Johnson ran better that day (4.49) according to Dane Brugler. I don't think it really affects anything one way or the other with his draft stock.

Can Johnson benefit from being put in better situations to succeed. He's not a RB that should be carrying the load. He's going to be highly inefficient. Nearly 47% of his runs netted 4 yards or less. In a complimentary role, can his efficiency rise and his explosive plays rise as well? I tend to think so.

Color me very much in on Emmett Johnson. Might not be the Seahawks but I think a team is going to get a really good player.
