NegativeRoleAug 23, 2026
First-round rookie running back drafted to replace Kenneth Walker will not play in preseason games against the Titans or Chiefs; Seahawks coaches Macdonald and GM Schneider have determined Price is too valuable to risk in uncontrolled preseason environments after he demonstrated sufficient speed, decisiveness in cutting into outside-zone run gaps, and pass-catching ability in padded practices. Price missed a week with upper-leg soreness but ramped up with padded practices this week, signaling readiness for regular season.

Jadarian Price has worked with the first- through third-team offense and is getting plays in with Jalen Milroe. However, Price is not as strong in pass protection as George Holani or Zach Charbonnet; the lack of history of pass pro and pass catching at Notre Dame means Price still has a lot to learn. Thomas Hammock was coaching him up during pass pro drills and having him re-do his reps, indicating Price has time on his side to improve but is currently a work in progress.

Seahawks first-round rookie running back Jadarian Price addressed concerns about his pass-catching ability and pass protection, stating he has worked on both since high school and has continuously improved throughout college. On pass catching, he emphasized that he has shown the ability in practice and continues to work on it; on pass protection, he acknowledged he is improving and has shown he can catch the ball in practice but still needs to demonstrate more pass protection work as the team takes it day by day in camp.

First-round draft pick Jadarian Price is getting consistent work in the passing game despite limited receiving history at Notre Dame (15 career receptions). On Monday, he beat Ernest Jones on a wheel route for a touchdown; on Tuesday, he caught a touchdown on the same route against a different defender (Maxen Hook). Linebacker Ernest Jones praised Price after Monday's practice, saying 'He's good. He's good, man. Mature for his age. You don't get too many words out of him, but he's working. He got me today. He had a hell of a route on me today. He's good. I think he's going to help us. He's doing everything right and he's got a great group of backs in front of him that are kind of teaching him the way.'

Selected 32nd overall by Seattle, Price is expected to lead the ground game going forward. However, he cannot be considered an every-down grinder after never logging more than 15 carries in a game at Notre Dame while operating alongside No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love. He had a knack for breaking away from opponents as both a runner and returner and should keep chunk gains coming after Walker tied for third in the NFL with 10 carries of 20-plus yards last season.
