Seahawks Rookie Jadarian Price Earns High Praise as Coaches Gauge Lead‑Back Role

Coaches will use padded practices and preseason snaps to decide if Price can handle three‑down duties after a short preseason leg issue.

Overview

  • Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold publicly called Jadarian Price “a special player” after watching him in Friday’s joint practice with the Tennessee Titans, praising his running and receiving skills.
  • Price returned to full practice following a brief bout of leg soreness that kept him out of the first preseason game and has since reclaimed first‑string reps.
  • The Seahawks drafted Price in the first round to fill the vacancy left by Kenneth Walker III, who signed with Kansas City in free agency.
  • With Zach Charbonnet still rehabbing a torn ACL and no established veteran lead on the roster, Price is positioned for a major early role but his exact workload remains undecided.
  • Coaches are focused on Price’s pass protection and three‑down durability in live, padded work before settling on a one‑back or multi‑back plan for the regular season.
