Jadarian Price is primed to have a big season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2026.
The circumstances surrounding Price’s upcoming rookie season create a situation where he’ll be given ample opportunities to make his presence felt in Seattle’s offensive backfield. Seahawks starting running back Zach Charbonnet will begin next season on the shelf with a torn ACL. Price, the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, is in line to absorb much of his workload in 2026 until Charbonnet makes his return.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Eva Geitheim, Price is projected to rush for 767 yards on 150 carries and score seven touchdowns next season.
“Jadarian Price comes into Seattle as a replacement for Kenneth Walker III, but he will be splitting carries with Zach Charbonnet and the Seahawks’ backfield,” Geitheim said. “Charbonnet is coming off a torn ACL, but should return to play at some point in 2026.”
Price has it all. Size, speed, quickness, and the ability to accelerate after maneuvering through defenses are all attributes of his that figure to translate well to the NFL level. He went for 710 rushing yards per season in his last two years at Notre Dame while taking an average of 116.5 carries per season.
The Seahawks have veteran running backs behind Price that will call for carries themselves next season. Nevertheless, Price still has the skills and talent to contend for the 2026 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award next season with a healthy workload to handle.
