The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl 60, and running back Kenneth Walker won Super Bowl MVP. But, he left in free agency for the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving the Seahawks to rebuild their RB room.
With Zach Charbonnet out to begin the season, coming off an ACL injury, the Seahawks need a lot of new faces in the RB room. They drafted Jadarian Price in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft and signed Emmanuel Wilson in free agency.
But, a report from ESPN's Brady Henderson revealed a trend with the Seahawks backfield from minicamp and offseason workouts, which is a bit concerning for Price. Instead of the first-round RB, the Seahawks have been giving George Holani the first reps with the first-team offense this offseason.
Seahawks' decision is a bit concerning for RB Jadarian Price
"In the six full-squad practices that were open to reporters, it was Holani -- not first-round pick Jadarian Price or free agent pickup Emmanuel Wilson -- who tended to get the first crack with the No. 1 offense," Henderson writes.
The Seahawks just drafted Price in the first-round, which might've been a little bit of a reach. Using such a high pick on an RB, it would be expected to see Price involved in the first-team offense right away.
However, this update from Henderson is a bit concerning. Price isn't getting the first looks with the No. 1 offense this offseason, as those reps are going to Holani.

While Price could still be the team's RB 1 at the start of the regular season, this update from Henderson is, at the very least, a little bit concerning.
Holani has 25 rushing attempts in two seasons with Seattle, running for a total of 83 yards with one touchdown. He ran for 10 yards on five attempts in the playoffs, and caught four passes for 34 yards as well this past playoffs.
Seattle might only be giving Holani those first looks to ease Price into the team, but if this trend continues throughout training camp and into the preseason, this situation might be a bit more concerning than a simple offseason overreaction.
