All Field Gulls insights about Jadarian Price

PositiveUsageSep 14, 2026
Price demonstrated discipline and decisiveness on outside-zone runs, consistently staying committed to play design rather than abandoning reads prematurely. On one rep, he correctly read linebacker No. 14 coming downhill and bounced the run outside; on another, he stayed on track until recognizing a better lane inside, then cut decisively and finished through contact. The source highlights his ability to balance discipline with creativity and his impressive acceleration once he gets north.
PositiveRoleSep 10, 2026
Jadarian Price, the first-round running back, showcased his skills in a solid debut with 10 carries for 52 yards and a couple of catches. He looked fast, slipped out of tackles, and there will be home run opportunities in the future. Unfortunately, the game plan got thrown out of whack due to Darnold's injury, which limited his touches. When Jadarian Price is more up to a heavier workload and Zach Charbonnet comes back, George Holani's touches should be reduced.
PositiveBreakoutSep 9, 2026
The source predicts rookie running back Jadarian Price will score his first NFL touchdown. Price was selected with the final pick of the first round and should have an immediate opportunity to make an impact. With Kenneth Walker III no longer in Seattle and Zach Charbonnet beginning the season on the PUP list, the backfield has opened the door for Price to receive meaningful touches from the start of the season. FanDuel currently has Price at +135 to score a touchdown, while his rushing yardage prop is set at 51.5 yards. The source notes Seattle should have enough opportunities to get its rookie running back involved near the goal line, whether through a short goal-line run, a longer explosive play, or through the passing game.
PositiveRoleSep 8, 2026
Price hasn't taken a handoff in an NFL game yet, but the source identifies him as a prospect with high potential and explosive upside comparable to Kenneth Walker III's ability to break a game open on one play. The source suggests giving Price the ball early in the season could be an effective way to establish his role and showcase his explosiveness, positioning him as a key part of the Seahawks' backfield despite the departures of Walker and Charbonnet's injury status.
NegativeRoleAug 23, 2026
Rookie first-round RB will not play in either preseason game (Chiefs Friday or Titans Sunday) due to injury management and high draft capital. Price missed a week with upper-leg soreness but has shown enough in padded practices—speed, decisiveness in cutting into outside-zone run gaps, and pass-catching ability—that the Seahawks view him as too valuable to risk in uncontrolled preseason environments. Macdonald and GM John Schneider have determined the running-back room is already thinned by injuries, making Price's preservation a priority heading into the season opener versus New England.
PositiveInjuryAug 17, 2026
The 2026 first-round pick returned to full participation in Monday's non-contact practice for the first time since August 7, after missing five consecutive sessions and the preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys while recovering from nagging leg soreness. Head coach Mike Macdonald never seemed overly concerned about the injury, and Price's return to the field indicates he had no reason to be. Price slotted into the team's starting offense and is trending toward playing in the regular season.
NegativeRoleAug 1, 2026
Seahawks first-round rookie running back is a talented pure rusher but must develop as a complete back at the professional level. His lack of catches at Notre Dame has been flagged as a concern for a team looking to increase running back involvement in the passing game. Price acknowledged in his first media availability that pass catching is an area he has worked on since high school and continues to improve; he also noted that pass protection remains a work-in-progress but he is improving day-to-day in camp.
