The Seahawks' running back room has plenty of questions for Fleury to figure out, but one player is set to command a lot of attenti
How the Seattle Seahawks will utilize the running back room under new coordinator Brian Fleury will be an interesting watch over the next handful of months.
With no Kenneth Walker, who is now with the Kansas City Chiefs, and Zach Charbonnet recovering from his ACL injury, the Seahawks don't have a genuine No.1 back.
Hence, Jadarian Price was drafted in the first round, and he is one who many think will assume the starting role for Fleury.
But there is a potential problem. Price played behind Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame for the past couple of seasons.
NFL teams don't really know how Jadarian will cope if he is asked to be the bell cow for the offense.
Granted, when he did get his chance at Notre Dame, he took it, rushing for 11 TDs last season.
But for CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan, the big question mark hanging over the Seahawks is whether or not Price can be "the" guy for Fleury's offense.
"Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III signed with the Chiefs in free agency, and fellow back Zach Charbonnet may not be ready for the start of the season after he tore his ACL in the divisional round," Sullivan writes.
"How Price looks as the bell cow back will be interesting, particularly after a collegiate career where he worked behind fellow first-round back Jeremiyah Love. On the one hand, you can say that Price doesn't have a lot of tread on his tires, but you can also argue that we don't know what he'll be like with a full allotment of carries."
We will get a good idea of how the Seahawks view Price when training camp begins.
Will he get the majority of the starting reps? Or will he split them with George Holani and Emanuel Wilson?
It isn't known when Charbonnet will return, but the thought is he'll miss the first portion of the season, so Price could get some clear runway in the first month to show the Seahawks' coaching staff what he can do.
But until Price has 20+ carries in consecutive games and is productive, many will be wondering if he's capable of shouldering a big offensive load.
