Seahawks plan for Rashid Shaheed to enhance run game strategy

The Seattle Seahawks are focused on utilizing Rashid Shaheed’s speed to improve their running game. Head coach Mike Macdonald noted that Shaheed's ability to draw coverage can help to open up the field for running plays. Since acquiring Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints, the Seahawks have shown improved effectiveness running from formations with three receivers. Shaheed signed a three-year, $51 million contract in March, reflecting the team's confidence in his potential impact. The Seahawks aim to develop a more versatile offense, balancing run and pass plays regardless of personnel on the field.
