Summer is here, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay. 

Are we going to write about quarterbacks? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans. 

So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Player Summary

Jonah Coleman followed Jed Fisch from Arizona to Washington when he took the head coaching job with them. When he went with his coach, he took his physical running style and improved it with a work ethic that allowed his body to develop even more as he grew into it, thanks to the Washington Huskies‘ facilities. Coleman is a physically imposing runner who does not shy away from contact and does not go down easy. He has great contact balance which allows for him to get the most out of every touch. While he lacks the homerun ability of most running backs, he makes up for it by having excellent ball carrier vision to hit his running lanes and to get to the second level consistently.
