From the article

Rookie running back is playing at a level that doesn't feel like a rookie performance. Head Coach Sean Payton stated: 'I think the young runner, you don't feel a rookie with [RB] Jonah [Coleman]. He's playing.' Payton noted that the evaluation has been complicated by limited padded practice time for offensive linemen, but Coleman's performance has been encouraging.
