Price faces obstacles from Holani and returning Charbonnet; rookie development curve expected.

Price, a first-round pick, is competing for a true starting role in Seattle but expecting that outcome in his rookie year may be premature. He faces at least two formidable obstacles: George Holani is a strong bet to start in Week 1, and Zach Charbonnet is making good progress in his recovery from a February ACL surgery and will have at least a nominal role when healthy. Price's big-play ability drew Seattle to him with the 32nd overall pick, but he never started in college and faces a potential development curve in blitz pickup and ball security. He might finish the 2026 season stronger than he begins it.
