If you thought Price would be a one-trick pony for Brian Fleury, well, you're gravely mistaken.
For most, Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price is set to step into the starting role this offseason, mainly because of Zach Charbonnet's ACL injury.
With the red zone monster rehabbing his knee, that leaves an opening at the top of the depth chart, and one that some draft experts believe is Price's for the taking.
Now, the Seahawks and offensive coordinator Brian Fleury won't just hand Price the job, he has to earn it. And with George Holani, Emanuel Wilson and Kenny McIntosh also vying for snaps, it won't be easy.
But there is one way that Price can put himself at the top of the pecking order, and that's by being a versatile back for Fleury.
Not just a threat on the ground, but through the air, something that doesn't exactly come as second-nature to Price, as he had just 15 receptions for 162 yards and 3 TDs in his three years at Notre Dame.
But for CBS Sports' Carter Bahns, he noticed at Seattle minicamp that Price was catching a lot of balls out of the backfield.
"Some of Price's modest college production can be attributed to playing behind No. 3 pick Jeremiyah Love," Bahns wrote. "Still, it is an area in which he will need to become more productive if he is to settle in as Seattle's top running back. It will also differentiate him from Zach Charbonnet once the short-yardage weapon returns from his torn ACL."
Last season, Kenneth Walker and Charbonnet combined for 51 receptions under Klint Kubiak, so they weren't big factors in the passing game.
But now with Fleury at the helm, and coming from San Francisco, where Christian McCaffrey had 102 receptions, it is fair to assume that Price could be used far more as a receiving option out of the backfield.
Given his limited snaps as a receiving back, perhaps the Seahawks want to add that to his offensive arsenal this offseason. Make Price a dual-threat back.
It will be a long process as the rookie gets his feet underneath him, but there appears to be a clear plan to improve Price as an overall running back.
We know that a player can't be a one-trick pony, and the Seahawks want Price to be versatile, and in doing so, will make him a much more damaging weapon.
Yes, it's early, but there could be a clear plan in place.
