In a recent NFL season-opening victory against the Patriots, Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price delivered a solid performance, according to Brian Baldinger. Price carried the ball ten times for 52 yards and caught two passes for an additional six yards. Despite the praise, it would be an exaggeration to claim that Price proved Kenneth Walker wouldn't be missed, as Walker had previously won the Super Bowl MVP award before leaving the team for the Chiefs.

As the NFL season progresses, there will undoubtedly be more opportunities for Price to showcase his skills and potentially reduce the shadow cast by Walker's legacy.
