Seahawks Select Jadarian Price With 32nd Pick Overall
Tap title to read story
SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks selected Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price with the 32nd overall pick on Thursday night, opting to keep their first-round selection rather than trade it. The move directly addressed running back depth after Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III left in free agency and Zach Charbonnet remained in rehabilitation from a knee injury.
Seattle had signed Emanuel Wilson in free agency to bolster the position, and Price is expected to compete with Wilson for playing time this fall. Price ran for 674 yards on 113 carries with 11 rushing touchdowns last season and is credited with roughly 1,692 career rushing yards and 21 touchdowns over three seasons at Notre Dame, according to team and media reports.
