The Seahawks added an explosive playmaker to their offense in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting Jadarian Price, a running back out of Notre Dame, with pick No. 32.

Price, averaged 6.0 yards per carry last season for the Irish, rushing for 674 yards and 11 touchdowns on 113 carries. He also added two receiving touchdowns and two touchdowns as a kick returner, averaging 37.5 yards per return.

Price, a third-team All-American as an all-purpose player, did not have a chance to put up bigger numbers because he shared a backfield with Jeremiyah Love, who was selected third overall by the Cardinals, but Price's college tape shows plenty of big-play ability.

Price gives the Seahawks another quality option in a backfield that lost 2024 starter and Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in free agency. He'll compete with the likes of Zach Charbonnet, when he returns from injury, as well as George Holani, Kenny McIntosh, and free-agent addition Emanuel Wilson.
