Price poised to replace Walker's explosiveness in run-first Seahawks offense.

Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price, drafted 32nd overall as the second RB in April's draft, is expected to step into the shoes of departed Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and will be called on to replace Walker's explosiveness. Price was regarded as among the most explosive backs in college football, averaging 5.8, 6.2, and 6.0 yards per carry in three years at Notre Dame with at least one TD of 54+ yards each season. At just 22 years old with only 280 carries at Notre Dame while sharing time with Heisman finalist Jeremiyah Love, Price has significant tread left on his tires and enters a run-first offense (507 rushing attempts, third-most in NFL last season) with a "fantastic opportunity" per RBs coach Thomas Hammock.
