  "account": "The Seattle Seahawks' rushing attack is difficult to fully assess at present. The team relied heavily on their running game in 2025, with Kenneth Walker III amassing 1,027 yards and Zach Charbonnet contributing 730. With Walker departing for the Kansas City Chiefs, questions arise about how rookie Jadarian Price will perform as the starter, and how Charbonnet will fare once he returns from injury. ESPN has dubbed the Seahawks' running back unit as one to watch in the upcoming season. Walker's departure and Charbonnet's ACL injury have significantly altered the team's backfield. Rookie Price, the final pick of the first round, has the potential to make a significant impact as a rookie, but his pass-catching experience remains limited. George Holani and Emanuel Wilson, who will compete for playing time alongside Price and Charbonnet, also have the potential to contribute meaningfully to the run game. However, Charbonnet's return from injury and the time it will take for Price to get up to speed are the primary uncertainties that must be addressed moving forward. The Seahawks' rushing attack could be a strong force in 2026, or it could fall short of last season's performance, keeping the unit in the spotlight throughout the year.",
