With Price now in the running back room, the thought is that he'll be the starter as Zach Charbonnet continues his rehab from an ACL injury.
The Seattle Seahawks' running back room is beginning to take shape in Brian Fleury's first offseason, with Jadarian Price set to be the centerpiece of it.
With Zach Charbonnet rehabbing his ACL injury, coupled with career backups in Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Kenny McIntosh all making up the room, could Price be set for a big workload to begin his NFL career?
You could certainly make the case.
But how Fleury will utilize Price is going to be a fascinating watch, and in truth, how the rookie fares at minicamp and training camp will tell us a lot about what the expectations will be for the former Notre Dame running back.
There is a chance that Price shines in training camp and in Week 1, is the starter behind Sam Darnold.
Of course, there is also a scenario in which the Seahawks operate a running-back-by-committee approach until Charbonnet returns.
But as ESPN's Jeremy Fowler states, Price might not have to be the bellcow from the outset, and there could even be a wildcard option thrown in, too.
"The sense in Seattle is that first-round tailback Jadarian Price (Notre Dame) won't have to be a bell cow right away," Fowler wrote. "The Seahawks have backfield depth and also hope to utilize dual-threat QB Jalen Milroe.
"Price has a special skill set that will be hard to keep off the field, but he'll have time to develop, too."
We know that Price was second-fiddle to Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame, so he doesn't have the physical wear and tear on his body as he enters the NFL. Also, Price averaged at least 5.8 yards per clip over his college career.
The Milroe angle is an interesting one, as we know his dual-threat capabilities, so could some packages be on Fleury's call sheet for Jalen? Possibly.
But surely the Seahawks will want to run their rotation of backs through the offense instead, right?
Charbonnet (when he's healthy) and Price loom as the top two opens for Fleury in 2026, and of course, that could change over the duration of training camp, as there are plenty of options.
But it appears one thing is for certain: Price won't have to do all the heavy lifting.
