Former Seahawks great Shaun Alexander predicts Jadarian Price could become Seattle’s starting back in 2026, citing Price’s Notre Dame stretch runs and the team’s outside-zone emphasis under Brian Fleury. Alexander suggests Price could win the job early and even surpass 1,000 rushing yards, though he notes Charbonnet’s return could affect carries. The takeaway is a bullish outlook on Price thriving in the Seahawks’ offense.
Seattle opened its first voluntary OTA with strong attendance (84 of 91 players), underscoring the team’s buy-in to a Lombardi-era culture. Rookie Jadarian Price flashed on a 7-on-7 route and catch, while LB Drake Thomas intercepted a Sam Darnold pass for a pick-six. Coach Macdonald praised the energy and lack of complacency, though a few veterans and specialists were absent for various reasons, hinting at ongoing roster dynamics as Seattle builds on last year’s championship run.
Seattle’s rookie minicamp concluded with 68 players (mostly tryouts) as coach Mike Macdonald deploys his “120 idea” to widen the talent pool behind a largely returning Super Bowl roster. Jadarian Price showed receiving-back potential, Beau Stephens worked at right guard with positional versatility, Air Force officer Cade Harris attended on TDY and eyeing another tryout with the Patriots, seven undrafted free agents including Uso Seumalo signed and impressed in drills, and Tyrone Broden began a transition from wide receiver to cornerback to add length in Seattle’s secondary, underscoring ongoing evaluation for the 2026 roster.
Seattle wrapped two days of rookie minicamp and Phase 1 of the offseason, evaluating the 2026 draft class, unsigned tryouts, and possible additions to the 91‑man roster. Jadarian Price is highlighted as a notable pick, and discussions include position changes and future depth as the team plans its next steps.
Seattle made Jadarian Price the No. 32 overall pick, and the Notre Dame product immediately framed his NFL journey as a new chapter, saying the real work began after meeting running backs coach Hammock and studying Seattle's playbook. Wearing No. 8, Price aims to be a versatile back who can run outside-zone, catch passes, and contribute in pass protection as Seattle rebuilds its backfield following Kenneth Walker III. He emphasized a professional mindset and a fresh start at rookie minicamp as the team signals the start of his Seahawks career.
Seattle revealed jersey numbers for its 2026 rookie class, confirming Jadarian Price will wear No. 8 (he wore No. 24 at Notre Dame). The list covers drafted rookies and seven undrafted free agents, including Tyrone Broden switching from No. 85 to No. 31 and moving from wide receiver to cornerback; rookie minicamp is May 1–2.
Seattle’s 2026 draft, which yielded four picks and eight rookies, sets up five defining storylines: Jadarian Price could reshape the backfield and earn a Day 1 role as Seattle weighs RB value; the Seahawks remain in the hunt for a premier edge rusher, with Kayvon Thibodeaux among the top targets; a safety competition between Ty Okada and Bud Clark will determine the back end of the defense; Beau Stephens challenges for the right guard slot, potentially signaling the end of the Anthony Bradford era; and rookie Rylie Mills is poised to quietly become a disruptive force on Seattle’s defensive line as the season progresses.
Seattle stayed at No. 32 after a flurry of trades ahead of them collapsed their options, drafting Jadarian Price to bolster the backfield after Kenneth Walker’s departure; GM John Schneider praised Price as a great player and person.
Seattle kept the No. 32 pick amid a flurry of first‑round trades and selected Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price to replace Kenneth Walker, signaling him as the backfield's future lead back alongside Zach Charbonnet. Price, a 5'11", ~203-pound versatile back who recovered from a torn Achilles and also excelled as a kickoff returner, has a four‑year rookie contract and fits Seattle's outside-zone run scheme that helped them win the Super Bowl.
Seattle used the final pick of the first round (No. 32) to select Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, the second ND back chosen in the round after Jeremiyah Love went No. 3 to the Cardinals. GM John Schneider had hoped to trade down but couldn’t find a partner. Price, who rushed for 674 yards and 11 TDs on 113 carries with two kickoff return TDs last season, could step into a larger role in Seattle’s backfield after losing Kenneth Walker in free agency and with Zach Charbonnet coming off a torn ACL.
