The Seattle Seahawks are adjusting their roster following the departure of running back Kenneth Walker III. While Walker served as the team's Super Bowl MVP, personnel changes have prompted the organization to identify a successor. Rookie running back Jadarian Price is currently positioned to take on a role within the offense. Jordan Reid notes that while Price lacks the established NFL experience of his predecessor, he offers a comparable skill set with additional utility in the passing game. Price is expected to contribute to a scheme directed by Brian Fleury that utilizes two-running-back sets and downhill running concepts. Although the team maintains key contributors like Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, integrating a new backfield presence remains a primary focus for the Seahawks this season.
