Seahawks Rookie RB Earns Comparison to Four-Time Pro Bowler
The Seattle Seahawks seem to have something special in their rookie running back.
Seattle Seahawks drafted running back Jadarian Price in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Seahawks safety Julian Love recently drew comparisons between Price and four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook. Love noted that Price's speed is reminiscent of Cook's prime performance. If Price reaches Cook's level of success, it would indicate the Seahawks made a wise decision selecting him.
While Cook took time to establish himself in the NFL, he achieved consistent 1,100-yard seasons from 2019 to 2022. His peak was in 2020, when he achieved a career-best 1,557 yards and 16 touchdowns. Price's abilities are expected to be evaluated closely, as Seattle employs multiple running backs in their system, including Kenneth Walker III, George Holani, and Emanuel Wilson.
Zach Charbonnet is also anticipated to return from injury, further compounding the competition. Price's potential to thrive in Seattle hinges on his performance throughout his rookie season. If he continues to impress, the Seahawks may struggle to keep him off the field, which would reinforce the validity of the Cook comparison.
Price hails from Denison, Texas, and played college football at Notre Dame. During his Notre Dame tenure (2022-25), he amassed 1,692 yards and 21 touchdowns.
