Jadarian Price development and Seahawks rushing outlook

Overview

As the 2026 NFL season approaches, rookie running back Jadarian Price is expected to anchor the Seattle Seahawks’ rushing attack. Following the departure of Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs and the recovery of Zach Charbonnet from a torn ACL, Price is positioned to lead the backfield.

Price enters the league following a productive collegiate career at Notre Dame. While earlier reports noted 674 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, more recent data indicates he recorded 1,420 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns during his time there. Due to his performance, league executives have projected him as a strong candidate for the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, the Seahawks intend to maximize Price’s athleticism through increased use of motions, shifts, and multiple tight end sets. While Price is slated to receive the majority of rushing opportunities in the season opener against the New England Patriots, experts suggest George Holani may handle short-yardage and red-zone situations, which could impact Price’s touchdown totals. Head coach Mike Macdonald has expressed confidence in the rookie heading into Week 1.
