All eyes will be on the running back position as training camp gets underway, and there had better be more answers than questions for Brian Fleury's unit.
The Seattle Seahawks will enter training camp without too many lingering questions over their roster, but one does deserve to be a careful watch.
Losing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker feels like a hammer blow to an offense that relied on him heavily en route to the Super Bowl, but with a new coordinator in the building in Brian Fleury, how the running back room shapes up will be a fascinating watch.
So, why the uneasiness?
Well, every player who is healthy right now is an unknown commodity as far as being a starter.
Jadarian Price is a rookie and, for most, is expected to take the starting role until Zach Charbonnet returns after his ACL injury, which some believe will be midway through the season.
Then we have the career backups in Emanuel Wilson, George Holani and Kenny McIntosh who make up the rest of the room.
None have been "the" guy for an offense, and in truth, Price hasn't either, playing second fiddle to Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame.
So, the big question we have to ask is, who is ready for the starting role?
Wilson has just two starts in his three seasons, Holani zero, and McIntosh zero as well, so there isn't a lot of experience. In fact, Wilson has the most skins on the wall, playing for three years.
When looking at the room in its totality, the only player who gives us any sort of confidence is injured, and that's Charbonnet.
But he's sidelined for at least the first half of the year, according to reports, which means the door of opportunity has swung open, and maybe in training camp, we'll find out who will walk through it.
Reading the tea leaves, Price is going to get first crack, and some experts prior to the draft viewed Jadarian as an NFL starter, so time will tell if the rookie can make some early-season noise.
The big benefit to Seattle's run game is that the entire starting five of the offensive line returns, making it a solid wall in front of whoever runs the ball for Fleury.
That might be an underrated aspect of the offseason, and what that could do for a run game that desperately needs someone to lead it could be huge.
But we have to find out who is good enough to lead the room, and Seahawks fans hope that gets answered in training camp.
