Jadarian Price expected to lead Seahawks rushing attack in 2026

The Seattle Seahawks are looking to rookie Jadarian Price to anchor their running game for the 2026 NFL season. Following the departure of Kenneth Walker III and the recovery of Zach Charbonnet from a torn ACL, Price is expected to take on a significant role as the team prepares for a season opener against the New England Patriots.

Price joins the Seahawks following a productive season at Notre Dame, where he recorded 674 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 113 carries. Analysts suggest realistic expectations for his rookie campaign should mirror the production of TreVeyon Henderson, who averaged approximately 5.1 yards per carry last season for the Patriots. While Price is expected to receive the majority of rushing opportunities, experts suggest that George Holani may handle short-yardage and red-zone situations, potentially limiting Price’s touchdown totals.
