Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman will set foot in an NFL stadium for the first time this fall.

Coleman grew up playing football, but never got the opportunity to attend a game as a fan because his family could never afford it. When he made it to the University of Washington, he decided not to go to a game until he made it to the pros, despite being just blocks from Lumen Field in Seattle. He explained why in an appearance on the NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”
