Overview
- Price is slated to make his NFL debut as the Seahawks’ starter in the Week 1 rematch with the Patriots on Wednesday, marking his first game action after no preseason snaps.
- Price said he feels prepared and not overly pressured, citing thorough preparation and the support of Seattle’s coaching staff in interviews this week.
- Seahawks general manager John Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald have publicly praised Price’s acceleration, vision and contact balance and called him a strong scheme fit.
- Analysts set tempered rookie expectations and project a realistic season similar to TreVeyon Henderson’s rookie numbers while warning that Price may see limited work on third down and in short‑yardage goal‑line situations.
- Seattle plans a committee approach with backs such as George Holani and Emanuel Wilson sharing duties until Charbonnet returns, and observers say pass protection trust and red‑zone role will determine Price’s longer‑term workload.
